A Kaspa Community Challenge Initiative

K-Force is a grassroots movement driven by the Kaspa community to ignite real-world action and amplify the Network Effect, the idea that small, consistent efforts by many people can create massive impact.

This isn’t about contests, rewards, or hype. It’s about unleashing the power of the people passionate about Kaspa through simple, guerrilla-style outreach that anyone can do, anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s buying $5 in Kaspa on a single day and time, onboarding a friend, or posting your merch, every act counts. And when coordinated together, it multiplies.

Basic Philosophy

Small actions. Shared purpose. Maximum momentum.  Every week, K-Force encourages the community to join in a collective rhythm of action to be and grow the network.

 

✅ K-FORCE ACTION CHECKLIST (not exhaustive)

Pick one. Pick many. Add one. (connect with Rhubarbarian on TG or Discord)
JFDI (Just Friggin Do It!)

  •  Buy $5 of $KAS every Sunday at 13:00 UTC
  •  Spend some $KAS at a local or online Store accepting Kaspa
  •  Onboard a friend by helping them install a wallet and sending them some $KAS
  •  Ask a local merchant or online vendor to consider accepting Kaspa
  •  Share a photo or video of you using or wearing Kaspa merch
  •  Post a 30–60 sec video explaining why you believe in Kaspa
  •  Leave a positive comment or explanation on Reddit, Discord, or X
  •  Put up a sticker, QR code, or chalk a sidewalk with the Kaspa logo
  •  Create or share a meme, artwork, or infographic about Kaspa
  •  Add Kaspa as a payment option to your own store, site, or freelance page
  •  Talk to someone at work, school, or your neighborhood about Kaspa
  •  Host a mini Kaspa meetup or coffee chat
  •  Create a tweet or post about a feature you love (e.g. speed, decentralization)
  •  Help answer questions from new community members
  •  Translate or localize Kaspa content into your language
  •  Follow and repost updates from Kaspa builders and community voices
  • Setup a Public Kaspa Node
  • etc.

NOTE: This is sort of like, “Kaspa Ambassador Light” 🙂 The Ambassador Initiative is more geared to on the ground, P2P meetups and events and regional adoption, whereas KForce is more online, quick hits anyone, anywhere can do.

Have fun!

Kaspa Crescendo at the Indore Meetup https://kaspa.org/kaspa-crescendo-at-the-indore-meetup/ Wed, 09 Jul 2025 12:22:25 +0000 https://kaspa.org/?p=53797 The post Kaspa Crescendo at the Indore Meetup appeared first on Kaspa.

Kaspa’s Crescendo Update: What Really Happened at the Indore Meetup

By India Kaspa Ambassador, Amit Sharma 

The Kaspa Meetup in Indore wasn’t just another blockchain event it was full of real conversations, first-time experiences, and a community that genuinely showed up with curiosity. The highlight? The much talked about Crescendo update.

So, What’s the Big Deal About Crescendo?

Crescendo isn’t just a technical upgrade it’s a major leap for Kaspa. It promises lightning-fast transactions, low confirmation times and the ability to scale smoothly, even with millions of users. And people could feel that potential in the room.

What stood out was how it clicked with everyone not just the devs. Even newcomers were saying, “This feels like something we can actually use, not just speculate on.”

Real Reactions from the Crowd

Many attendees downloaded or updated their Kaspa wallet during the session.

Some were completely new to Kaspa and said this event changed how they looked at blockchain tech.

Students and developers asked how to start building on Kaspa or contributing to the community.

One local dev mentioned, “Most projects talk big, but Kaspa actually showed how it’s solving real problems like speed and fees.”

Another attendee said, “I came here out of curiosity, and I’m leaving with ideas.”

The Meetup Vibe

The energy was authentic people weren’t afraid to ask questions. Conversations flowed naturally, and you could see folks exchanging contacts, joining groups, and already discussing collaboration.

It wasn’t just about learning it was about belonging.

Why It Matters

  • Crescendo is a big opportunity:
  • For builders, it means faster and scalable infrastructure.
  • For users, it’s a better, smoother experience.
  • And for cities like Indore, it’s a chance to get in early and grow with a tech that’s actually ready to scale.

What’s Next?

  • Crescendo is rolling out soon. And after Indore, one thing is clear the Kaspa community is ready to build, share, and lead.
  • This is more than just tech it’s momentum.
  • And being early has never felt more exciting.

Crypto’XR 2025: A Breakthrough Event for Kaspa France https://kaspa.org/cryptoxr-2025-a-breakthrough-event-for-kaspa-france/ Sun, 09 Feb 2025 15:45:56 +0000 https://kaspa.org/?p=52601 The post Crypto’XR 2025: A Breakthrough Event for Kaspa France appeared first on Kaspa.

Crypto’XR 2025: A Breakthrough Event for Kaspa France

Presence & Organization
Crypto’XR 2025 was a milestone event for the Kaspa France team, marking a significant step forward in our efforts to expand Kaspa’s visibility and adoption in the crypto ecosystem. Our stand was strategically placed in the “Mining” space, reinforcing Kaspa’s strong Proof-of-Work (PoW) identity. Positioned near Blobb.io, this location naturally attracted miners and blockchain enthusiasts, sparking insightful discussions on the future of mining and Kaspa’s place in it.
The Kaspa France delegation consisted of four dedicated ambassadors, along with Eliott Mea, JC, and Mourad. Throughout the two-day event, we engaged with approximately 500 attendees, experiencing an uninterrupted flow of visitors. Every interaction further refined our ability to present Kaspa compellingly, fostering greater enthusiasm within our team.

One of the key highlights was our exchange with “For Mining Space,” where we explored potential collaborations in the mining sector. These discussions reinforced the growing recognition of Kaspa as a serious player in the blockchain space.

Visibility & Content
Our presence at Crypto’XR was amplified by engaging content and interactive sessions:
Live Stream: A dynamic session featuring Marwane & JC, attracting around 70 live viewers on YouTube. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many appreciating our insights into Kaspa’s unique architecture.

Workshop on Stage: One of the defining moments of the event was the workshop co-hosted by Eliott Mea, who had previously conducted his final internship under Yonatan Sompolinsky. The session delved into the robustness of Kaspa’s Whitepaper and BlockDAG architecture, drawing considerable attention from both seasoned crypto experts and newcomers. A high-quality video recording of this session is expected to be released soon, further amplifying its impact. During the workshop, we answered questions in a decentralized manner, embodying the very spirit of Kaspa and demonstrating this philosophy to a broad audience.

Encounters & Business Opportunities
The event provided fertile ground for meaningful business discussions and strategic connections:
Developers & Entrepreneurs: We sensed strong anticipation for Layer 2 solutions and smart contracts, indicating a clear demand for Kaspa’s upcoming developments.

Crypto Payments: Companies like Braille and Kamea showed keen interest in integrating Kaspa into their payment infrastructures, a testament to its growing credibility as a transactional cryptocurrency.
Exchanges & Listings: Productive discussions with SwissBorg opened the door to potential exchange listings, a crucial step toward greater market adoption.
Influencers & Media: We secured opportunities for interviews with key French crypto influencers, enhancing Kaspa’s media presence.
Blockchain Education: Engaging discussions with Alyra, a leading blockchain school, paved the way for a future presentation on Kaspa, expanding its reach in the educational sector.
Bitcoin Maximalists: Some of our most intense yet rewarding conversations were with BTC maximalists. We noted a shift in their perspective, with many acknowledging Kaspa’s merits and admitting to mining KAS themselves—without ever selling it. This revelation underscored the respect Kaspa is earning, even among the most hardened Bitcoin advocates.

Engagement & Emotional Impact
Crypto’XR was not just about visibility; it was about unity, energy, and validation. Our stand remained constantly occupied, reflecting a tangible curiosity and excitement around Kaspa. Many visitors already knew about Kaspa, while others left intrigued by its potential. The diversity of ambassador profiles allowed us to provide tailored and complementary answers to different audience segments, reinforcing our collective strength.

One of the most exhilarating aspects was the intellectual challenge presented by skeptics. Engaging in deep technical discussions, dismantling doubts, and sparking curiosity left us with a strong sense of accomplishment. These moments of rigorous debate and genuine interest reaffirmed that Kaspa is on the right trajectory.

Moreover, the camaraderie among the Kaspa France team was palpable. The experience of representing Kaspa together, exchanging knowledge, and witnessing the ecosystem’s expansion firsthand was incredibly fulfilling. It strengthened our conviction that we are not just promoting a blockchain but a movement built on transparency, efficiency, and decentralization.

Next Steps & ROI
The momentum gained at Crypto’XR must now be leveraged to drive Kaspa’s adoption further:

  • Capitalizing on newly established contacts to accelerate ecosystem development.
  • Structuring an ambassador recruitment program in France to maintain our growth trajectory.
  • Strengthening our presence at major upcoming events, particularly PBW (Paris), ETHcc (Cannes), and Surfin’Bitcoin (Biarritz).

Conclusion
Crypto’XR 2025 validated our efforts, expanded our network, and strengthened Kaspa’s foothold in the French crypto landscape.

Thanks to the support of Kaspa Ecosystem Foundation (KEF), we were able to create a meaningful impact, engage with key stakeholders, and solidify our presence in the industry.

Thanks to the Rhubarbarians and the Community Marketing Fund for supporting us all with promotion, planning and design for the merch, banners and stand designs and presentational materials.

The journey is far from over, but Crypto’XR has set the stage for what’s to come: greater awareness, stronger collaborations, and the unstoppable rise of Kaspa.

Send from Link to the proposal on Google Docs
by Chad Ballantyne of Rhubarb Media (AKA Rhubarbarian)

Community Marketing Fund (CMF
JAN 16, 2025

Greetings, fellow Kaspians!

Since the beginning (May/June, 2022) when we created the brand, the website and socials for Kaspa, we’ve produced well over 2000 posts and/or designs for social media channels, created or produced 70+ videos for YouTube, and developed countless designs for events, community members, merchants and Ambassadors. Our services and support have successfully helped onboard more than 80 merchants worldwide and 32 regional Ambassadors. We established a new Global Ambassador team to help move that program forward and handed off the lead to Luke. Basic Kaspa Pitch Decks And Battle Cards were translated into 15+ languages for teaching at meetups and other educational events. We supplied custom pitch decks for the core team and ambassadors. We’ve designed and delivered an assortment of new merch and Merchant resources –  Ambassador and merchant resources.

All our work is public on the web from posts to highlight videos from events.

We have faithfully researched, sourced and written content for social posts and manage X, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram along with a handful of super mods and have seen the KAS Army grow exponentially, creating their own content on their channels.

With the support of our small but mighty Marketing and Business Development Team, we’ve helped promote numerous new apps, exchanges, pools and others that integrated Kaspa.

Since the beginning of the last CMF funding pool in May/June 2024, we’ve seen significant growth in all social channels.  

Notable achievements these past 6 months include

See the Then and Now stats here: https://kaspa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2024-by-the-numbers-Kaspa.pdf

  • Designed all assets, booth designs, merch and promo for the Kaspa World Tour*
  • Chad/Rhubarbarian attended 6 conferences repping Kaspa in 2024 (KEF Funded 5, self-funded, 1) Time all donated.
  • We saw the adoption of Kaspa with Marathon Digital and Greyscale looking at Kaspa. (Mara’s rep mentioned the overall brand presence and grassroots strategy did factor into their decision.)
  • We designed a custom piece of art for Ballet Kaspa Silver Coin (donated time)
  • We have done post-production for 10 Rock the Kaspa monthly news show.
  • Provided design and resource support for Meetups in France, India, Nigeria, Israel, Ghana, Australia, Hong Kong, Poland, USA… 
  • Designed and distributed 3rd Birthday resources for all Ambassadors and large events
  • X = 240,800 followers – One of the highest engagement rates in Crypto history!
    Read the 5.5% Case Study
  • Started a re-work on a refreshed website
  • Kaspa has trended on Google and X even during this last price action.
  • CMF funded and we helped deliver 1000s of battle cards, sticker sheets, pins, banners and t-shirts around the globe

*We have seen Kaspa represented and supported through design and promo/merch in France (X3), Hong Kong (2x), Dubai 2X), Warsaw, Austin Texas, Miami, NYC, Vienna, Dubai, Dublin Singapore, and Sydney. 

Each of these events the Rhubarbarains spend countless hours helping to plan, design and create all materials needed for outreach.  Each location sees local ambassadors raised and equipped to represent the cause!

DYK? On X our impressions in DEC, 2024 alone were over 9M? And engagements (clicks, RT, etc) were almost .5M. Even with the Kaspa Way outreach the project is reaching millions.  And this isn’t just preaching to the choir, siloing.  We are averaging about 10k new followers on X each month!  Those are great stats. LinkedIn is steadily growing as well. About 6-8% a month. And all growth is purely organic. But this is an ecosystem effort as well. With each new ambassador, Xspace, video AMA, new article, event, and KEF/Kii/KasMedia mention, we grow.  It’s all organic, grassroots, decentralized just like BTC did and still does.  We equip, and create resources for all to educate, promote and onboard. 

The ASK:

The initial CMF was to be for 3 months. Due to the increasing value and our decision to alter the terms and take the equivalent of funding in USD, rather than the $KAS equivalent, we’ve been able to stretch the funds to 6-7 months!! This includes organising and supporting more key events with merch, creative design, and marketing tools.  Its carried us through this recent sideways price action.

Now, we hope to replenish the CMF to continue our “Kaspa Way” Marketing momentum into 2025 to increase marketing efforts, and onboard more ambassadors and merchants. 

Our focus for Q1-2 2025 is on more Outreach and equipping the community for meetups and large events around the globe with the support of KEF and others. We aim to provide Ambassadors with the necessary resources to form their own teams. Still, additional funds will be necessary for Ambassador launches and to support participation in major 2025 events as well as weekly design needs for print, social media, video production, etc.

As you have seen our global outreach has greatly expanded and thanks to KEF, the larger events have been covered.  But with 50+ Ambassadors onboard and probably 2X that coming in the first half of 2025, and the daily addition of Kaspa Merchants, the demand for Reginal/local launch kits and meetups is coming!  Many of the Ambassadors have their own Kaspa clothing and a pull-up banner as well as pitch decks for presentations, but for each new Ambassador, we want to help them kick off their activity with a fulsome Media Kit and merch for their first few meetups.  These “kits” would include a few shirts for them and other helping Kaspians, a pullup banner (XL Battle Card) A stack of Battle Cards, Sticker sheets, some Kaspa pins, and keychains)  These kits range per region but could easily cost $550 USD per Ambassasor.  Ongoing, for each meetup it would be base costs for refreshments or maybe facility rentals, although we encourage all to find donated space.

A revised effort will be to support more educational resources for video, web and print. The cycle of brand building never ends! 

Coming in 2025

  • A social media series on Kaspa Features/Benefits (ongoing)
  • A revised Battle Card translated into 17 languages, including an interactive web version
  • A New Interview Podcast Series (name TBD) Hosted by Chad

Interviewing merchants, ambassadors, enterprise markets, and others who are adopting Kaspa.  Meeting real people hearing their stories and tips and tricks around adopting Kaspa into their enterprise. I’ll also be doing regular check-ins with Kii and KEF to bring to light highlights of their work.

Budget Breakdown

  • Funds Requested: We’re asking for 33,267 KAS/month (KAS price now is .1503) (equivalent to $5000 USD/month) for at least an initial commitment of 3 months. After this period, we’ll revisit for a new budget review. Should the value of Kaspa increase, we pledge only to spend the USD equivalent (For Rhubarb’s ask), thus extending the funds over more months. As mentioned, the last budget lasted 6+ months.
  • Budget Allocation: 50% of the funds will be dedicated to our content creation,(print, video, web)  communications, Ambassador/Merchant support, project management and resource creation. The remaining 50% will cover Ambassador Kits, merchant support, merch for events as requested and other associated hard costs, as needed. None of these funds will be used for paid advertising. The budget will be directed toward the daily efforts of Kaspa’s organic growth. If no requests are made from Ambassadors or outreach needs, we will allow those funds to extend the work of the Rhubarbarians past 3 months, which we’ve seen these past couple of years, while supporting resources and merch requests from around the globe.

Total Budget: We’re looking at a total of 99801 KAS. If the Kaspa value goes up, we will spread the budget out over more months as we’ve done successfully over the past 2.5 years!

Contributions: If you wish to see this work continue, please send your contributions to the new wallet (to allow for campaign fundraising progress bar visualiser)

Thank you for your unwavering support and your dedication to Kaspa’s adoption!

Dig Deeper Docs

We get questions off and on about “why no paid promo” and “wen Marketing”  We hope these docs help with understanding the deeper methodology behind our work.  This doesn’t negate others doing what they see as needed, but our work is foundational and comes from the core strategy of being a project, not a company and keeping “marketing” organic from the main channels.  This follows the ethos of BTC while realizing the creative opportunities we have to amplify Kaspa.

The celebrations around the globe were amazing! We saw large and small gatherings on every corner of the planet.
Here are some reports so far.  More to be added as we go.

Kaspa 3rd Birthday Meetup – Nigeria

Presented by Nwafor Obinna Balor (Kaspa Nigeria Ambassador)

The Nigeria community met for the 3rd year celebration of the Kaspa BlockDAG on the 8th of November 2024, at Nova Initia Mall, Enugu, Nigeria.

The attendance was a resounding one as we had over fifty (50) crypto enthusiasts and merchants of local businesses gather to talk about Kaspa and how it is a major game changer in the world of cryptocurrencies and digital finance, we also discussed the KRC20 tokens building on the kaspa BlockDAG and of course the endless opportunities for growth and adoption.

The event started at exactly 1:00pm (Nigerian Time) with over 60% of the expected attendees already present and seated. The enthusiasm showed by the attendees was second to none, and they all listened with rapt attention to the speakers and the Nigerian Ambassador.

We had several industry leaders reach the basics of cryptocurrency and how to leverage it to battle inflation and other vices that vigorously affect the Nigerian economy etc. 

An onboarding session was organized by the Nigeria Kaspa Ambassador and over 30 persons downloaded the Kaspium Mobile wallet and were as well funded with some $KAS, the flag bearer coin of the BlockDAG ecosystem. 


The experience was a wholesome one as the attendees were educated about Kaspa; and this initiative sponsored by the CMF and the Kaspa Global Ambassadors Lead (Rhubarbarian and Luke) is a major stride in the outreach to making $KAS and the kaspa ecosystem a global and a household name among communities.



Kaspa’s 3rd Birthday Online Meetup: Hosted by Oliver

On November 6, 2024, the Kaspa Spanish-speaking community from around the globe gathered on Zoom to celebrate Kaspa’s third anniversary. Participants proudly represented their home countries, including Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, and the US. Originally planned as a 45-minute session, the call extended well over an hour as the enthusiasm for Kaspa’s impact kept the conversation flowing.  

We reflected on the lessons learned from Kaspa over the past year, exchanged experiences with mining, and explored strategies for introducing Kaspa to others. The discussion highlighted how Kaspa continues to revolutionize crypto and digital finance. We also dove into the potential of KRC20 tokens built on the Kaspa BlockDAG and brainstormed ways to drive further growth and adoption in this thriving ecosystem.

Kaspa’s 3rd Birthday: Meetup in Miami

I had the pleasure of attending another Kaspa community meetup, this time organized by members of the KRC20 ecosystem, in celebration of Kaspa’s third anniversary on November 7, 2024. What started as an hour-long discussion about what Kaspa means to us quickly turned into a vibrant networking session where we connected with fellow community members.  

It was incredibly rewarding to put faces to names I’ve interacted with on X and to make new friends who share a passion for Kaspa. We exchanged stories about how we discovered Kaspa, shared our personal experiences, and explored the potential of KRC20 tokens. For me, the highlight was speaking during the Kaspa segment, where I had the chance to express my enthusiasm for this game-changing project and bond with others who are equally excited about its future.

Kaspa 3rd Anniversary Türkiye Meetup – Ankara, Türkiye

November 16, 2024
6:00 PM – 10:00 PM (GMT+3)

Out of 36 registrations, 19 participants (including two miners, existing and new investors, as well as potential investors) joined the event, creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere. The age range was predominantly 35+, with only one exception. Three attendees traveled from other cities to join the meetup. Additionally, Kaspa influencer Cihan, who had preferred to stay out of the public eye until now, attended the event as a personal friend and shared with the group that I was the one who first introduced Kaspa to him.

The gathering lasted longer than anticipated, with discussions extending beyond four hours. The team came from very diverse professions: underwater offense commando, police officer, graphic designer, knitter, legislative expert, crypto compliance manager, government officials, engineers, , and many more, reflecting the diversity within the Kaspa community.

Kaspa merchandise was distributed at the entrance. The event featured a roundtable where everyone shared their Kaspa journey, fostering warm and close connections among participants. After the initial group introductions, conversations continued in smaller groups, allowing attendees to connect on a more personal level.

A Kaspa-themed cake was cut during the event. Additionally, I held a giveaway, offering a Kaspa Coin and a Kaspa T-shirt I brought from Singapore for me, along with a Kaspa-supported OneKey cold wallet I had won at another event. I contributed these items to the community and have none of them right now 🙂

Some attendees expressed interest in joining a future meetup in Istanbul. Overall, the event exceeded my expectations. Despite the community’s diverse background, the atmosphere was warm, engaging, and inclusive. Participants also assured me of their support whenever needed, and a Kaspa whale offered to provide financial assistance for future events.

For the next meetup, I’m considering creating name tags for attendees. Writing names on stickers could facilitate networking.

Some participants requested not to be in the public eye, so I have excluded any photos that include them.

Best.
Esma

 

A short story told at the meetup:

In February 2022, a participant who bought Kaspa over-the-counter (OTC) suggested to his brother to create a Kaspa wallet so he could send him some Kaspa. His brother created a web wallet via kaspanet.io and occasionally checked his balance on his phone after that day. He could see the balance but hadn’t checked it in about a year. Recently, when he wanted to access the wallet, instead of the wallet asking for a password, it requested the seed phrases again.

He entered the seed phrases but couldn’t open the wallet no matter what he tried. It turned out that when he initially set up the wallet, the browser’s auto-translate feature was enabled, so all the seed phrases were accidentally saved in Turkish. Since he wasn’t familiar with crypto, he didn’t consider the possibility that the phrases should not be in Turkish. Now, he and his brother have been using ChatGPT to generate all possible variations of the seed phrases and manually testing them one by one for days.

Key Questions Raised:

  1. Mining Concerns:

A miner who began mining in April 2022 mentioned criticisms about early mining being conducted privately by the team. I explained that, as a regular investor, I accessed all information publicly available on Discord as early as February 2022

  1. Political Tweets:

These were brought up again (as they often are). I wasn’t concerned since everyone at the meetup had different political views, yet we all shared the same table.

  1. Recent Price Stagnation:

Questions were raised about expectations regarding the recent price inertia. While refraining from specific price comments, I provided reassuring statements to calm and instill confidence in investors.

  1. Local Exchange Listings:

I shared that we’ve initiated discussions with local exchanges for listing and collaborations, but secondary regulatory frameworks are still waited for listing/delisting processes.

 

Hong Kong Kaspa Genesis Block Birthday

Nov 8th 2024
Hi from Hong Kong! Here’s a picture of Ezra’s Lane in Central Hong Kong.

Ezra’s lane is not too far from the famed IFC tower in Hong Kong where Batman jumps off the IFC building in The Dark Knight (2008) to capture Lau, a money launderer for the mob.

My friend Joey is the co-owner of The Trilogy, so we organized this meetup with our Crypto Drinks friend Brandon Z. I don’t believe in coincidences.

We had about 90 people sign up and 40-50 people came to see us from 5-9 pm. Not bad for a short-notice meetup. We had a few miners from Shenzhen (SZ), engineers, programmers, VCs, and students. Some of the notable guests were representatives from; Kucoin, Bitmain, and my
buddy from Bell Labs/NCR.

I briefly spoke to everyone about my Bitcoin experiences, Kaspa’s block time, and Ezra 7:18 quote written into the Genesis block.

As I read Ezra 7:18 to our guests, I experienced a profound moment of insight regarding my hero’s journey alongside Yonatan and the team. This feeling was amplified by the coincidence of being on Ezra Lane. Anyway, everyone got to meet each other and talk with each other. And I sent some Kaspa to the Kucoin rep to show how fast it was. I got a video clip of the transaction.

In the end, I thanked everyone for coming and we went to get something to eat. Overall, the meetup had more people than the regular Bitcoin meetups. So I thought it was a good start in HK for Kaspa. The Solana hackathon just had about 200 devs show up, and yesterday thechain broke again. That would be the 11th time I think.

Anyway, here’s a pic of my buddy and I when we met Shai at the Bitmain mining conference last year (2023). We are building a biometric smart card cold wallet for the Kaspa infrastructure. We just got accepted into the Cyberport HK sponsored Incubator. Crypto dot com went through the
same Cyberport system under the name of Monaco. So hopefully we can build an ecosystem like Monaco, but better. We have some big ideas.

Kaspa 3rd Birthday – Dubai

Kaspa Turns 3: A Birthday Bash to Remember in Katowice, Poland

Katowice, Poland – November 09, 2024
The Polish Kaspa community came out in full force to celebrate Kaspas’ 3rd birthday at Cybermachina Players Bar. The party was packed with energy, Kaspa-themed balloons, t-shirts, stickers, and a cake so good it could’ve been minted.

This wasn’t just a party; it was a celebration of how far we’ve come. We gathered around the table and exchanged excitement about the new developments. The vibe? A cross-Poland pilgrimage powered by pure Kaspa passion!
From reminiscing about our roots to dreaming about what’s next, it was a night to remember. Kaspa is more than a coin—it’s a community. Here’s to the next chapter!

Australian Crypto Convention (November 23-24, 2024)

By Luke – Ambassador Director and Australian Ambassador

The energy ramped up the moment we arrived at the convention centre. The Kaspa booth became a hive of activity from the second the doors opened. It wasn’t just the tech on display or the sleek booth design—it was the incredible mix of people who showed up. Families with prams, older enthusiasts, developers, first-time crypto explorers, and everyone in between stopped by. Unlike many other crypto events, this felt more like a community gathering than a corporate showcase. The diverse crowd created an atmosphere that was as engaging as it was refreshing.

Our booth quickly became the centre of attention, thanks in no small part to Chad and his team of Rhubarbians for their incredible booth design. From conceptualising the layout to bringing the vision to life, their efforts made the booth a true standout. The life-sized Kaspa battle card and the BlockDAG visualiser were absolute hits, sparking countless conversations. Watching people’s eyes light up as they grasped how Kaspa achieves such high throughput was one of the most rewarding parts of the weekend. Those visual tools always prove invaluable at every convention in efficiently educating the community.

The swag bags, packed with Kaspa socks, coins, and copies of the Kaspa Times and Battlecard, were another hit. By the end of Day 1, nearly every single bag was gone, leaving us scrambling to restock for Day 2. It clearly showed the Australian community’s enthusiasm and interest in Kaspa. I lost count of how many people said they were excited to learn more and share their discoveries with friends and family.

The booth wouldn’t have been the same without the team and community members who worked tirelessly throughout the weekend. Chad was not only responsible for the booth design, but he was also present at the booth, engaging with visitors and answering their questions, ensuring that everyone felt welcomed. JW, from KEF, was a fantastic support—connecting with fans, answering questions, and helping ensure everything ran smoothly. Wolfie was a constant source of energy, sharing his knowledge and passion for Kaspa while keeping everyone’s spirits high with his humour and positive attitude. Monica and Junny, also from KEF, provided valuable support by engaging with visitors and making sure the booth was always buzzing with activity. This incredible collaboration made the weekend feel like a true team effort and highlighted the strength of the Kaspa community.

Key Highlights

Community Helpers

At times, it felt like our team had doubled. Knowledgeable Kaspa fans hanging around the booth naturally stepped in to explain the tech to curious attendees, answer questions, and share their passion for the project. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and seeing how much they cared about spreading the word was humbling. It wasn’t planned—it was just the organic power of the Kaspa community in action.

Diversity of Attendees

Crypto events often attract a particular crowd, but this convention broke the mould for me. From young tech enthusiasts to older professionals curious about blockchain, there was a genuine mix of people eager to learn about Kaspa. It felt like proof that Kaspa’s appeal isn’t limited to a niche audience—it’s truly for everyone.

Fan Representation

The Kaspa community showed up in force. Many attendees wore Kaspa T-shirts, proudly representing the project and sharing personal stories of how they discovered it and why it resonates with them. One of my favourite moments was seeing longtime supporters chatting with new fans, explaining the nuances of the BlockDAG and encouraging them to dive deeper into the technology. The enthusiasm was palpable, and the buzz around the booth didn’t let up all weekend.

A Hint of Excitement

The weekend also brought some unexpected interest from the media. Without revealing too much, I’ll just say that Yonatan had the chance to sit down with some TV producers who seemed intrigued by Kaspa’s story. Who knows? This might just be the start of something exciting.

Kaspa Fam Meetup (November 23, 2024)

After an incredible first day at the convention, we headed to the Sculpture Terrace at the Museum of Contemporary Art for the Kaspa Fam Meetup. With Sydney Harbour as the backdrop, the location was breathtaking—honestly, none of the other side events at the convention could compete. The space was perfect for our planned special evening, which included connecting with the community, sharing stories, and celebrating Kaspa’s third birthday.

Guests began arriving at 7 PM, and it didn’t take long for the venue to fill with a mix of new and long-time Kaspa fans. There was something magical about seeing so many people in one place, all connected by a shared passion for Kaspa. Some fans I’d met before, but many I was meeting for the first time—it was incredible to put faces to the names and handles I’ve interacted with online.

A special shout-out goes to Ashton, Daniel, and Jimmy, who flew in from overseas just to be part of the event. Their dedication was inspiring and underscored how much Kaspa means to its community. Seeing people travel such long distances to connect in person made the evening feel even more special.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening was the series of speeches. As MC, I had the privilege of introducing Shai, Michael, and Yonatan. Each brought something unique to the table, but it was Yonatan’s words that resonated:

“There’s a natural tendency to form communities around founders, but I hope the Kaspa community is built around itself—I just want to be part of it.”

His humility and vision for the project had the entire room hanging on every word.

The speeches ended with a truly unforgettable moment: everyone joined together to sing “Happy Birthday” to Kaspa. It was a simple gesture, but it felt monumental—a celebration of how far the project has come and the incredible community built around it.

Another standout part of the evening was the Kaspa fortune cookies—a creative initiative by Arnon, one of our most dedicated community members, who sadly couldn’t attend the event. Arnon 3D-printed each cookie, coordinated the entire project, and shipped them to Sydney. Inside each cookie was a seed phrase tied to a wallet, generously funded by Arnon and other community members. Watching guests crack open their cookies and realise they’d received a piece of Kaspa was heartwarming. It wasn’t just a giveaway—it was a beautiful gesture of generosity and connection that perfectly captured the spirit of the evening.

The night wasn’t just about formalities, though. Once the speeches wrapped up, it became a lively, informal gathering where conversations flowed as quickly as the drinks. Whether it was swapping stories about how people discovered Kaspa, geeking out over the tech, or just sharing laughs, the camaraderie in the room was unmistakable.

Standout Moments from the entire week

The week was filled with memorable moments. It all began during the drive from Sydney Airport after I picked up Yonatan and Shai. After some light conversation, Yonatan casually asked, “Where is the local chess club?” He explained that visiting chess clubs is something he enjoys doing while travelling. Although I didn’t have an answer then, I promised to find out, which led to a good laugh for both of us.

The next day brought one of the week’s best surprises. Michael, a last-minute guest, had flown in, and I was determined to keep it under wraps. I told Shai we were picking up a Kaspa friend from Dubai to throw him off. While Shai wandered off to get a SIM card, I guided Michael to the shop. The look on Shai’s face when he saw Michael was priceless—let’s just say his reaction involved some colourful Hebrew words and a lot of laughs. It was the perfect start to an unforgettable week.

Another memorable moment for me was sitting down with Anton. While I am no developer, Anton is one of the brightest minds I’ve ever met, and for a solid hour, I bugged him with questions about Rust, his passion for programming, and the future of smart contracts on Kaspa. Listening to him explain the possibilities and share his vision was fascinating—it was less of a conversation and more of a masterclass. By the end of it, I walked away with a much better understanding and a new appreciation for the sheer brainpower driving Kaspa forward.

Shai’s speech on Saturday was another highlight. After multiple attempts at previous events, I finally managed to get the livestream working—a small personal win! The audience turnout was incredible, with fans wearing Kaspa T-shirts filling nearly every seat. The stream wasn’t perfect, but it captured the moment’s essence: Shai connecting with the crowd and sharing Kaspa’s vision with an engaged and supportive audience.

Sunday morning brought Yonatan’s keynote, which packed the theatre. Despite a minor technical hiccup delaying the live stream, the crowd’s energy made it all worthwhile. People were hanging on his every word, snapping photos of his slides and asking thoughtful questions afterwards. The excitement spilled over at the booth, with fans eager to meet Yonatan, Shai, and Michael. The booth was so busy that the crowd often spilled into neighbouring stalls—apologies to our booth neighbours, who were gracious despite the chaos!

A Personal Note

This event held immense personal significance for me. A year ago, I had this big dream of bringing Kaspa’s contributors to Australia so the local community could meet them face-to-face. At the time, I didn’t know exactly how I’d make it happen, but I started talking to anyone, and everyone who would listen—planting the seeds of an idea that I hoped would one day take root.

There were some setbacks along the way. An earlier event I’d pinned my hopes on ended up being cancelled, and I’d be lying if I said that didn’t feel like a gut punch. But I didn’t give up. Instead, I doubled down, setting my sights on something even more significant: the Australian Crypto Convention. Through many discussions (and a fair bit of persistence), the Kaspa Ecosystem Foundation agreed to support the idea, and suddenly, this dream started feeling real.

Seeing it all come together was emotional, to say the least. Watching Shai, Yonatan, Michael, and the rest of the team connect with the Australian community felt like a full-circle moment. From Yonatan’s first question about local chess clubs (no, I still don’t have an answer for him) to the surprise reunion with Michael, it was a week full of unforgettable moments. These weren’t just contributors flying in for an event—they were friends I admire and respect, sharing their time, knowledge, and passion.

What stood out the most was how personal this experience felt. Handing out swag bags, explaining Kaspa to curious attendees, or seeing a crowd of fans in Kaspa T-shirts packed into the keynote sessions reminded us why we do what we do. This isn’t just about building a community; it’s about creating a movement—one that’s grounded in fairness, openness, and collaboration.

I sincerely thank the Kaspa Ecosystem Foundation for their unwavering support. Without their backing, none of this would have been possible. To the fans who showed up, asked thoughtful questions, and shared their enthusiasm: you’re the heart of this community, and your support means the world.

And to anyone who picked up a piece of merchandise, stayed for a speech, or just stopped by the booth to chat—you made this event unforgettable. It wasn’t just an event but a celebration of everything that makes Kaspa unique. Thank you for being part of it. Kaspa is the future.

Kaspa Ambassador Program 2.0 https://kaspa.org/kaspa-ambassador-program-2-0/ Wed, 04 Sep 2024 20:44:34 +0000 https://kaspa.org/?p=51599 The post Kaspa Ambassador Program 2.0 appeared first on Kaspa.

]]>

Background

In early 2022, when Kaspa was first branded and all public communications channels were established, Rhubarbarian and the team started to seed the idea of a Kaspa Ambassador Program (KAP.) Its main goal was to find passionate leaders from within the community and educate, equip and support them as a major arm of the marketing efforts in their local regions; to reach their people groups with resources like graphics, promo materials, and presentational templates created in their native languages.

Many other projects source major budgets and spend money on KOLS, paid ads and paid influencers to shill their project. The idea of KAP was to invest in people, and the community and set them up as our KOLs and Influencers!

At the beginning of March 2023 in conjunction with the Community Marketing Fund (CMF) the KAP was launched. (Check CMC charts at that time)

A new web page was added and through an application form, multiple interviews, and reference checks, we started to onboard Ambassadors. Right off the bat, meetups began, and events were attended, most funded by the CMF with mentorship, design and resource support from the Rhubarbarians. Within 6 months the team had grown to 15 Ambassadors strong and 6 months from there, we reached over 30!

The countries included Nigeria, Australia, Germany, Canada, USA, Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Poland, Austria, France, Indonesia, India, Kazakhstan, Israel, Philippines, Netherlands, Romania, UK, Spain, etc.

Passing the Torch

It was just after we hit 30 Ambassadors, that Rhubarbarian reached out to Luke (one of our first Ambassadors), Chris (Rock the Kaspa and UK Ambassador) and Julien (French Ambassador) to form an advisory team (Global Ambassadors) to help with the process and start looking at new ways to scale. Luke took it upon himself to spearhead this initiative and with their council and support, a new proposal was presented to take the KAP to the next level. It did mean pausing the applications to get organized and giving Luke time to flesh out the details. In the meantime, the Ambassadors continued to shine as they launched the Kaspa World Tour with support from the Kaspa Ecosystem Foundation (KEF) and the CMF.

It’s with great excitement that we restart the KAP with not only a new intake process, new documents and newly compiled resources, but with a new leader!

“Luke from Australia was one of the first few Ambassadors that came aboard. He was a force in the Aussie community but also took the lead on some early events and international relations. It’s a privilege to pass the touch of the leadership of the KAP to Luke and continue to support the program and Global team as an advisor!”
Chad Ballantyne (Rhubarbarian)

We’re excited about the exponential growth we see for Kaspa, driven by the remarkable developments the core team delivers, such as the upcoming Crescendo hard-fork and how the “ground team,” our amazing Ambassadors, will spread the news and educate and demonstrate this pioneering work to the masses.

The following 12 months are shaping up to be huge. As more people discover Kaspa, we will likely see the Ambassador Program double or even triple in size.

“I’m incredibly honoured to receive the torch from Chad and continue the journey he started with the Kaspa Ambassador Program (KAP). Being one of the earliest ambassadors to join the program has been incredibly fulfilling. Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to see it grow from its early stages to becoming an integral part of our global outreach.

Now, I don’t take this next phase lightly or the responsibility entrusted to me as I take the reins. I aim to guide the program through this next chapter of growth and evolution, ensuring that our Kaspa ambassador communities continue to expand and thrive. My vision for the Kaspa Ambassador Program is to continue empowering each region, fostering semi-autonomy where possible. While we will continue to grow a solid global presence, the most impactful aspect of the program is cultivating strong, confident members of our community who can represent Kaspa locally and globally”.

Luke, Kaspa Ambassador Program Director

Vision for the Next Year

Looking ahead, we are excited about the exponential growth we see for Kaspa, driven by the remarkable developments the core team is delivering, such as the upcoming Crescendo hard-fork. The following 12 months are shaping up to be huge. As more people discover Kaspa, we will likely see the Ambassador Program double or even triple in size.

For new applicants, this growth means an even more cohesive and streamlined application process, ensuring a smooth onboarding experience into the program. For our original Ambassadors, you can expect the same excitement and engagement that has defined the program from day one, but now with even more opportunities for growth and impact.

What’s New in KAP 2.0?

As we relaunch the Kaspa Ambassador Program, we’re excited to introduce several new updates to enhance the program and provide more support to our Ambassadors. Some of the fundamental changes include:

  • Revamped Application Process: A new streamlined process including an application form, knowledge quiz, and interview to ensure we onboard the most dedicated Ambassadors. We’ve also tightened joining requirements, especially around employment conflicts.
  • Enhanced Ambassador Structure: We’ve refined the program’s structure to provide clearer pathways for growth and new leadership opportunities.
  • Ambassador Growth Plan: A defined plan to support Ambassadors in advancing through the program and contributing more to the community.
  • Clear Responsibilities and Core Values: Updated guidelines to maintain professionalism and integrity across the program.
  • Ambassador Handbook: A comprehensive, evolving resource to guide Ambassadors in their roles and responsibilities.

Looking Forward

These updates mark a new chapter for the Kaspa Ambassador Program. We will focus on fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and engaged community as we implement these changes.
Looking ahead, we have several exciting initiatives in the pipeline that will further enhance the Ambassador experience:

  • Ambassador Swag: We know how much our Ambassadors love to share Kaspa with the world, so we will introduce more Ambassador Swag, enabling all of our ambassadors to show their passion for the project no matter where they go.
  • Educational Resources: We’re developing additional educational resources to help Ambassadors expand their knowledge of Kaspa and effectively communicate the project’s vision. One of these resources, for example, will be the FUDBuster initiative, which will equip Ambassadors with information to address typical FUD they might encounter.
  • New Budgeting Process: Funding support for meetups and events is being re-strategized to include revisions to the use of CMF funds, access to KEF funding for large events and help launching Regional CMF (local crowdfunding) opportunities.

 By Bitmo -A Japanese Kaspa Ambassador

This week (July 12th), 2 Kaspa Family meet-ups were held in the Japanese community.

While Kaspa is gaining attention worldwide, it is still not well known in Japan, but this event brought together Kaspa fans in Japan.

Many people participated in the event, including those who are familiar with Kaspa, those who are familiar with cryptocurrency, those who have just learned about cryptocurrency, and those who are holders and miners, as ways of getting involved with Kaspa.

So, what kind of project is Kaspa? We were able to get to know Kaspa from various perspectives, such as the history of cryptocurrency and the essential story.

Learning about Kaspa also leads to improved literacy in cryptocurrency and finance, and we will continue to work to increase the number of people in Japan who know about Kaspa through events in the future.

We also held a study session to help people learn about Kaspa.
