The Kaspa development team, led by Michael Sutton, has started a project to rewrite their codebase in the Rust programming language. This effort began in July and is expected to take 4-6 months to complete, funded entirely by community donations. The goal of this rewrite is to improve the performance and efficiency of the Kaspa system, allowing it to handle more transactions per second (TPS) and blocks per second (BPS). The team believes that this will help Kaspa reach its full potential as a leading financial system.
The main objectives of the rewrite include increasing efficiency and performance, maximizing BPS and TPS, simplifying and modularizing the codebase to make it more accessible to new developers, incorporating new features and upgrades more easily, and improving documentation.
The progress of the project can be tracked on Kaspa’s GitHub page, and the team welcomes participation from the community. For more information or to get involved, interested individuals can reach out on Discord.
