This is an interesting one $kas. Those of you who’ve been around long enough might remember my very good friend Mike Zak, the first DAGLabs employee, who wrote the very first line of original code in Kaspa’s codebase, and led the development of the golang client for around four
### Mike Zak and the Evolution of Kaspa: A Tribute from Shai Wyborski
In a recent discussion, Shai (Deshe) Wyborski, a PhD candidate in quantum cryptography and one of the core developers of Kaspa, reminisced about the early days of the project and highlighted the contributions of Mike Zak. Zak, the first employee of DAGLabs, was instrumental in writing the very first line of code in Kaspa’s codebase. His pioneering efforts laid the groundwork for the development of the golang client, which he led for nearly four years.
Kaspa, a cutting-edge blockchain protocol known for its innovative architecture and scalability features, owes much of its success to the foundational work performed by enthusiasts like Zak. Shai emphasized that Mike’s contributions not only advanced the technical aspects of Kaspa but also fostered a community of developers dedicated to pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology.
As the Kaspa ecosystem continues to evolve, the legacy of early contributors remains vital, serving as an inspiration for current and future developers. Shai highlighted the importance of collaboration and innovation in ensuring the project’s ongoing success.
