Dr. Martin Hiesboeck from Uphold recently had a conversation with Yonatan Sompolinsky, the founder of Kaspa, about the innovative technology of blockDAG. This week’s Weekly Crypto Update Twitter Space, hosted by Dr. Hiesboeck, will feature Sompolinsky discussing the history and complexities of blockDAG, a data structure that offers a more efficient and flexible solution for digital transactions.
BlockDAG technology addresses the challenges of scalability, decentralization, and security that are present in traditional blockchain technology. Kaspa is an example of how blockDAG can revolutionize the cryptocurrency space by providing faster and more secure transactions with lower fees.
Sompolinsky will explain the core principles of blockDAG and how it differs from conventional blockchain technology. The origins of blockDAG can be traced back to a 2016 paper by Sompolinsky and Aviv Zohar, which led to the development of the first blockDAG protocols, GHOST and SPECTRE. The conversation will also cover the future implications of blockDAG for cryptocurrency and the challenges this groundbreaking technology faces.
Tune in on April 13th at 1:00 PM EST for an insightful discussion with Yonatan Sompolinsky of Kaspa as Dr. Martin Hiesboeck explores the fascinating world of blockDAG and its potential to transform the digital currency landscape.

On Saturday, April 8th at 5:00 PM EST, Bubblegum Lightning will host a Kaspa Twitter Space event. Special guest Nicholas Harness will discuss the future of Kaspa and the University Blockchain Alliance (UBA). The event will allow participants to ask questions about UBA’s goals, the integration of universities with blockchain technology, and Kaspa’s role in their development. The first part of the event will provide an overview of UBA, followed by an open Q&A session.
The University Blockchain Alliance started as a collaboration among five small schools in Illinois to support emerging clubs at smaller universities. It now includes over 150 schools across 29 countries and has transitioned to a decentralized autonomous organization. UBA partners with major companies like Solana, NEAR, and Coinbase to offer programs that engage student developers, such as Kaspa U, which aims to build a strong developer community for Kaspa.
Future plans for UBA include workshops, university speaking tours, hackathons, and a conference this fall at Michigan. These events offer networking opportunities and introduce Kaspa to a wider audience.

The Kaspa Network, known for its use of Proof-of-Work consensus mechanisms, is set to undergo significant enhancements aimed at increasing its speed, performance, and scalability. These improvements are being eagerly awaited by the Kaspa community, who are looking forward to the release of the alpha version of Rusty Kaspa on April 15th, 2023.
Rusty Kaspa is a major update that will introduce testnet and mainnet testing binaries, with subsequent beta and stable releases following community testing. The update focuses on optimizing the network’s decentralization, performance, security, and scalability in line with current communication networks and average node hardware capabilities.
A notable feature of the upcoming release is the implementation of Rust, a programming language expected to offer substantial performance boosts compared to the current version. However, the Kaspa team is dedicated to conducting extensive real-world tests to determine the optimal block processing speed and ensure the best outcomes for the network.
The transition to this enhanced performance will be gradual, with a carefully designed process to test specific block processing speeds on the testnet before activating changes on the mainnet. This phased approach aims to provide a smooth transition, allowing the community enough time to upgrade their nodes and software as necessary.
The Rusty Kaspa release represents an important advancement for the project. Improved network performance will lead to faster transactions and cater to the needs of a growing user base, further encouraging adoption of the Kaspa platform. The Kaspa developers remain committed to ensuring the platform’s continued success and growth.
For more information on Rusty Kaspa, the community can visit the GitHub page at https://github.com/kaspanet/rusty-kaspa. It’s worth noting that while 32 BPS is an initial estimate for block processing speed, actual testing will reveal the true optimal performance based on network and hardware capabilities.
Kaspa also maintains a presence on various platforms including their official website, wiki, Medium, Teletype, Discord, Telegram, Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, and Explorer for updates and community engagement.
