It is, therefore, faster and more secure than GHOSTDAG (GD), which governs the current Kaspa network. Furthermore, in DK, there\u2019s no assumed hardcoded parameter k (latency parameter), which can adapt to the \u201creal\u201d k in the network. Concretely, clients or their wallets in DK should incorporate k into their local confirmation policy of transactions.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"c398\" class=\"graf graf--h4 graf-after--p\">Goals<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"postList\">\n<li id=\"c5b8\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--h4\">Complete the R&amp;D work necessary to implement DK for Kaspa.<\/li>\n<li id=\"0123\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--li\">Implement DK on Kaspa as a consensus upgrade.<\/li>\n<li id=\"8612\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--li\">Add support and API for wallets\u2019 transaction acceptance policy to correspond to DK\u2019s confirmation speed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id=\"c8c9\" class=\"graf graf--h4 graf-after--li\">Applied research<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"postList\">\n<li id=\"dcab\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--h4\">Adapt the consensus algorithm to enforce a global maximum bound on network latency, which is necessary for difficulty and minting regulation, pruning, and more.<\/li>\n<li id=\"dd7f\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--li\">Devise efficient algorithms to implement the DK procedures\u200a\u2014\u200athe current pseudocode is highly inefficient.

This switch will boost Kaspa\u2019s overall performance\/speed, allowing for unheard-of transactions and blocks per second with conservative estimates of around 32bps. This rewrite is an integral part of the foundation to achieve Kaspa\u2019s future goal of reaching 100bps! Rust is a high-performance programming language that allows for intense race-ready concepts to be implemented which fully utilize modern computing hardware. This enables such things as parallelism\u200a\u2014\u200athe ability to simultaneously process different blocks on different CPU threads.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f629\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/kaspa-currency\/kaspa-on-rust-update-60c46c7c5dae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/kaspa-currency\/kaspa-on-rust-update-60c46c7c5dae\">Latest Rust Update<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/max\/700\/0*o_7zr08xjc8AURSc\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"327d\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--figure\">Mobile Wallet Development: Testing<\/h3>\n<p id=\"3a72\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">A mobile-device wallet is currently being developed and in testing. Many in our community have expressed the need for a high-performance mobile wallet option. This mobile wallet will add to the already existing Kaspa wallet options: <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/wallet.kaspanet.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/wallet.kaspanet.io\">web wallet<\/a>, <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/kdx.app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/kdx.app\">desktop walle<\/a>t, and <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/kaspanet\/kaspad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/kaspanet\/kaspad\">Command Line Interface Wallet<\/a>.

To safeguard your KAS holdings on the industry standard hardware wallet platform is just another step towards our goal of creating an everyday and safe use currency. Tangem wallet is also in Development and may arrive sooner than Ledger.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"b304\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\">2023 White Paper: Development<\/h3>\n<p id=\"92c6\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Although there are numerous research papers written about Kaspa\u2019s technology, an official white paper is being scheduled for release. This white paper will thoroughly combine Kaspa\u2019s past research and current goals into a cohesive, consumable whole document to inform beginners and onboard developers.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ae18\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\">Archival Node Improvements: Development<\/h3>\n<p id=\"53d5\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Currently, there is no P2P communication for archival nodes that allow them to exchange usually pruned data. Improvements to archival Nodes enable Kaspa to have a more thorough block explorer to revisit past transactions beyond Kaspa\u2019s pruning point. Due to Kaspa\u2019s pruning mechanism, transactions on standard nodes can only be visited three days in the past. With Archival Nodes, this will no longer be an issue allowing for more historical data sets to be retrieved.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"43c3\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\">Smart Contracts Implementation\u00a0:\u00a0Planning<\/h3>\n<p id=\"83d0\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Kaspa aims to become the fastest, most scalable, and most secure Layer-1 PoW crypto. And while Kaspa has already reached this benchmark, some fine-tuning still exists for peak performance. However, performance for the sake of performance is not the end goal of Kaspa. The broader goal is to create the ultimate Layer 1 to implement smart contracts, Defi, and Layer 2 applications over it. Kaspa hopes that a future ecosystem will arise on Kaspa that will be as strong as the foundation and wonderful community that helped birth it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fb06\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">Tip<\/strong>: Development takes time. Most of Kaspa\u2019s development is like coding into the unknown, feeling around a pitch-black cave for a way to build a house. We would instead the devs take their time and get it right than get it wrong by rushing and pressuring them. Patience is vital for success.<\/p>\n<p id=\"98e7\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/kaspa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\" data-href=\"https:\/\/kaspa.org\/\">KASPA.ORG<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"b210\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/invite\/kS3SK5F36R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\" data-href=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/invite\/kS3SK5F36R\">DISCORD<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"9ef6\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/kaspaenglish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\" data-href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/kaspaenglish\">TELEGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"dbee\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KaspaCurrency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\" data-href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KaspaCurrency\">TWITTER<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"d4ff\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Kaspa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Kaspa\/\">REDDIT<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"e354\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/kaspanet\/kaspad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\" data-href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/kaspanet\/kaspad\">GITHUB<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"e324\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/explorer.kaspa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\" data-href=\"https:\/\/explorer.kaspa.org\/\">EXPLORER<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"4213\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Feel free to comment and\/or ask any questions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3b2c\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p graf--trailing\">You can also find me on the Kaspa discord\u200a\u2014\u200aBubblegum Lightning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The status, overview, and phase of developments.
