Kaspa, a blockchain platform, is currently undergoing a major upgrade as it transitions from using the Golang programming language to Rust. Rust is known for its memory safety and high performance, which will make Kaspa more efficient and less prone to errors. This upgrade, referred to as “Rusty Kaspa,” will also improve the platform’s performance, security, scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
The use of Rust is expected to enhance Kaspa’s ability to handle more transactions and users without slowing down, potentially pushing speeds up to 32 BPS and 6,400 TPS, with the possibility of reaching 20,000 TPS. Rust’s ownership model and low-level control over memory management make it easier to write concurrent and parallel code, which is crucial for a blockchain platform like Kaspa that needs to manage large amounts of data and perform complex operations.
The new Rusty Kaspa codebase will also be more attractive for developers, users, and businesses, helping Kaspa grow and evolve over time. Additionally, the DAGKNIGHT protocol will be built on Rusty Kaspa, further enhancing the chain’s solutions to the blockchain trilemma and increasing the network’s decentralization, security, and scalability.
