Representing Kaspa at OPHacks in IIT Mumbai was an honor. I shared insights on Kaspa mining, the Kaspa website, and the revolutionary Kaspa BlockDAG technology, which enhances blockchain scalability. The developers’ excitement and creativity shone through, particularly with a $10,000 prize incentive for innovative solutions. The event culminated in numerous collaborations and projects, creating a stir in the developer community and laying the groundwork for future blockchain education events. Connecting with India’s brightest minds highlighted the immense potential of Kaspa technology.
Kaspa, a cryptocurrency, made its debut at a sports event, leading to the creation of KASSports. Thanks to the efforts of Nur, the Kazakhstan Ambassador, sports enthusiasts can now experience the benefits of cryptocurrency in a familiar setting. Sponsorship opportunities for athletes allow them to enhance their skills, travel, and expand their fan base while promoting awareness of digital currencies.
The GET HIGH AND FLY 2024 event in Muine, Vietnam, was a significant milestone for sports and Kaspa. Over 60 participants competed in various disciplines over two days, creating unforgettable experiences. The event, sponsored by Kaspa, offered crypto rewards, which increased competition and introduced Kaspa to a diverse crowd, including top kitesurfing champions.
Participants had to download a wallet to receive their $KAS rewards, increasing adoption of the currency. The Ambassador targeted athletes and fans to initiate conversations about Kaspa and its potential for local adoption. The event’s success has paved the way for further integration of Kaspa into the sports community.

As 2022 ended and 2023 began, Kaspa stood out in the crypto world with its advanced blockDAG technology. Aiming to solve the blockchain trilemma, it focused on balancing speed, security, and scalability.
In early 2023, the Kaspa community was a close-knit group of tech enthusiasts. The Ethereum merge had just happened, prompting GPU miners to find new opportunities, while FPGA miners were on the rise.
This time was crucial for Kaspa, with key events like the Rust rewrite crowdfund and the DAG KNIGHT protocol introduction. Its listing on MEXC showed the community’s commitment to innovation. Despite unpredictable market forecasts, Kaspa’s success was undeniable.
Early in 2023, Kaspa’s community grew quickly, attracting miners and traders who sought more trading platforms like MEXC. Efforts to list Kaspa on top exchanges intensified, with campaigns targeting CoinMarketCap for proper recognition.
Crowdfunded campaigns aimed to get Kaspa on exchanges like Uphold, Bitget, and KuCoin. These listings were vital for increasing Kaspa’s accessibility and liquidity.
Marketing efforts expanded with the Community Marketing Fund (CMF), focusing on grassroots activities. Tangem and OneKey initiatives eased fundraising pressures and addressed the need for hard wallet development.
Mid-year, Kaspa saw significant technological progress and community engagement. The transition from GPU/FPGA mining to ASIC miners developed by IceRiver marked a new era. New mining pools and tutorials supported this shift, emphasizing decentralization.
Kaspa also integrated with platforms like Chainge Finance and Zelcore, showcasing its versatility. Crowdfunding continued for a browser wallet and more exchange listings.
The Ambassador Program grew globally, with over 30 representatives promoting Kaspa worldwide. They were supported by the CMF and marketing tools like Battle Cards.
As the year ended, Wrapped Kaspa (wKAS) linked Kaspa to networks like Polygon and BNB Chain. The Kaspium mobile wallet widened Kaspa’s reach to mobile users.
Despite challenges like the dust attack during Yom Kippur, Kaspa demonstrated resilience. Technological updates to Rusty Kaspa and the Kaspa Go network improved transaction handling.
Looking ahead, Kaspa aims to improve its transaction capabilities and maintain a strong community focus. Plans include smart contract functionalities and increasing blocks per second.
The DAG KNIGHT protocol remains a key goal for Kaspa, promising innovation and efficiency. Kaspa’s future is driven by growth, technological advancement, and community involvement.
While not all achievements can be listed, every effort is appreciated and celebrated.

Uphold Enhances Crypto Lineup with New Token Relistings
In a recent move to diversify its cryptocurrency offerings, Canadian exchange Uphold has announced the relaunch of several tokens it had previously removed from its platform in 2023. The exchange shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that nine tokens, including fan-favorites Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE), are now back on the menu.
The decision to delist these tokens last December was in line with Uphold’s commitment to adhere to Canadian crypto regulations. Despite Canada not recognizing cryptocurrencies as official currency, individuals are free to engage in crypto transactions at their discretion.
With the reintroduction of these tokens, Uphold is offering Canadian users a wider selection of cryptocurrencies for trading and investment, just in time for the anticipated 2024 bull run. These tokens are now accessible through Uphold’s Topper payment system, making it easier for users to manage their digital assets.
Is BONE Next on Uphold’s List?
The crypto community, particularly SHIB enthusiasts, are buzzing with speculation about the potential listing of Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) on Uphold. As an integral part of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, BONE’s listing could significantly boost its adoption and provide Canadian investors with another promising asset to consider.
Recent activity on social media hints at Uphold’s interest in BONE, with substantial holdings already in place. If Uphold does decide to list BONE, it could mark a significant milestone for the exchange and the Shiba Inu community, further solidifying Uphold’s position as a diverse and forward-thinking crypto platform.
Kaspa, a decentralized blockchain ecosystem, recently held an introductory event in Kigali, Rwanda, led by Kaspa ambassador Sheebar Kamusiime. The event took place at the Digital Transformation Center of Rwanda and was co-organized with Starknet Rwanda.
The attendees included local developers, Women in Tech-Rwanda, college tech students, local Web3 enthusiasts, and representatives from the Department of Emerging Technologies. During the 30-minute presentation, Sheebar discussed Kaspa’s strategy to tackle the Blockchain Trilemma and how it aims to address challenges in traditional systems, particularly around financial inclusion.
The event also provided an opportunity for networking and setting up Kaspa wallets using the Kaspium App. A total of 15 new downloads were recorded, and discussions on investing in Kaspa’s native currency, KAS, took place.
