FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kaspa Experience: The Kaspa Community Lands in Berlin to Showcase the Fastest Blockchain and most powerful DLT  on Earth

Berlin, Germany – September 13, 2025 – As the crypto industry matures beyond its early promises and speculative mania, a new kind of technology is stepping forward, one that blends internet-level performance with bulletproof decentralization. That technology is Kaspa, and this September in Berlin, the world will experience it up close.

The Kaspa Experience is more than just a community gathering. It’s a showcase of the most advanced proof-of-work blockchain ever built, featuring instant confirmation, 10 blocks per second, and a roadmap scaling far beyond what Bitcoin or Ethereum have achieved. The event highlights Kaspa as the fastest, safest, and most decentralized cryptocurrency on the planet, and the foundation of a new era of financial and data settlement.

“At Wolfy’s Bar, we believe crypto belongs in everyday life—not locked away on charts and exchanges. The Kaspa Experience is our chance to show the world how fast, feeless payments can transform how businesses and communities connect. We’re excited to join other innovators proving that crypto’s real power lies in real-world adoption.”  ~ Wolfy

Beyond Bitcoin. Beyond the Hype.
Over the past 16 years, the world has witnessed crypto rise from cypherpunk ideals to media spectacle. Bitcoin proved sound digital and decentralized money was possible, Ethereum brought programmable contracts, and meme tokens made headlines, but often at the cost of credibility. Kaspa is none of these. It’s the next chapter, maybe another volume.

“We created The Kaspa Experience to prove that blockchain isn’t just code—it’s a living economy. This event is where people will see and touch how fast, practical, and open a decentralized network can truly be. We want builders, businesses, and anyone curious about the future of finance and technology to come and discover how Kaspa can empower their vision.”
~ Ashton Wood, Kaspa Alliance for Transparency

Why Kaspa?
Speed & Security: Kaspa processes 10 blocks per second with instant finality, powered by a unique BlockDAG architecture. It’s fast enough for real-time commerce and decentralized enough to resist institutional capture.

Developer Sandbox: Kaspa is a real-time playground for developers. Whether building smart contracts, wallets, or cross-chain tools, Kaspa’s upcoming programmable layer opens the door to creativity and speed without compromise.

Entrepreneur Launchpad: Builders around the world are choosing Kaspa as the launchpad for next-generation apps, from global micropayments to data registries and decentralized identity.

Enterprise Backbone: With real-time, secure, peer-to-peer finality, Kaspa is positioned to serve as the backbone of industrial and financial settlement, powering energy markets, logistics, smart cities, and beyond.

Not Another Casino.
The Kaspa Experience is supported by a wide community, including creators from the KRC-20 ecosystem, but make no mistake: this is not a meme showcase. The focus is on utility, scalability, and infrastructure. While other networks chase hype, Kaspa is building what the world actually needs.

What to Expect

June 26, 2023 – Kaspa, a pioneering proof-of-work platform offering fast and scalable solutions, announces a historic milestone: achieving an unprecedented 10 Blocks Per Second (BPS) on its testnet. This breakthrough sets a new standard in the world of cryptography and cryptocurrency, ready to overturn the existing constraints of transaction and block speeds within proof-of-work consensus protocols.

Kaspa, a proof-of-work network known for its pioneering efforts, has made a significant announcement today. The company has achieved a remarkable milestone on its testnet by successfully reaching a rate of 10 Blocks Per Second (BPS). This accomplishment sets a new benchmark in the field of cryptocurrency.

To attain this unprecedented block rate, Kaspa launched Testnet 11, a public experimental network. This achievement is highly significant as it opens up exciting opportunities for future innovation. Developers, crypto-enthusiasts, and visionaries from around the world are now invited to put various approaches and ideas to the test.

Yonatan Sompolinsky, the Founder of Kaspa and co-author of the GHOSTDAG protocol, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “A 10 blocks/sec system is highly sensitive to minor errors or even suboptimal engineering; it requires a deep understanding of p2p consensus modules interplay and top-notch execution capabilities. I hope more devs will join the project, if anything, merely to enjoy the beauty manufactured.”

The successful Testnet 11 has demonstrated the capability to process thousands of transactions per second across multiple network nodes, all using everyday hardware. This accomplishment showcases that a proof-of-work protocol can scale without compromising decentralization or security. This achievement promises significant advancements for those seeking to explore and expand the possibilities of cryptocurrency.

Michael Sutton, a distributed systems researcher and core developer at Kaspa, shared his thoughts on this achievement. He said, “With the advent of GHOSTDAG as a scalable consensus protocol, we have reached a pivotal point where performance becomes paramount. The scalability of a cryptocurrency is no longer limited by the protocol itself; it now relies upon computation limits. Furthermore, the combination of widely available multi-core computers and the inherent parallelism opportunities of DAGs has pushed the boundaries to their limits. This convergence of consensus and high-performance computing (HPC) unlocks untapped potential, propelling us towards new horizons of research and innovation.”

Shai Deshe, a Kaspa quantum and cryptography researcher and co-author of GHOSTDAG, added, “This is the first time a permissionless, public, proof-of-work network has achieved four-digit transaction rates directly on the consensus layer while running on affordable hardware. Remarkably, some participants reported running the network on nine-year-old laptops! We are on track to demonstrate that proof-of-work can scale as effectively as proof-of-stake, without sacrificing centralization or security. Surpassing 3000 TPS has been surprisingly effortless, and as we continue pushing the limits, we might even outperform VISA.”

Kaspa’s achievement represents a significant step forward in realizing Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision of an efficient, secure, and widely adopted cryptocurrency. The utilization of blockDAG technology to handle high transaction volumes not only pushes the boundaries of current capabilities but also paves the way for future innovations. This transformative moment ushers in a new era in the realm of digital currencies, offering broader adoption and unprecedented application opportunities.
