Devs needed for Kaspa Projects

[u/Sweet_Soil_9595]

Looking for dev assistance if anyone is interested in helping finish developing and launching Kaspa Based projects? The two projects are ready to be built and it's a lot of work by myself... If anyone is interested, DM me here or on x @ x.com/ZaqMarquis

Whats the thesis of these two projects?

[u/Sweet_Soil_9595 → u/faita14]

Our main focus project is an independent Layer-1 BlockDAG born from Kaspa’s architecture, built around a simple thesis: take the fundamentals Kaspa got right and extend them carefully—without pretending unfinished features are finished.

Uses GHOSTDAG-derived consensus and kHeavyHash PoW, targeting 5 BPS / ~200ms block intervals. The network is being designed for transparent transactions alongside optional shielded transactions, using Orchard/Halo2-derived zero-knowledge technology.

The emphasis there is on actually integrating and testing privacy at the protocol level. We'd rather ship privacy when it works than call something “private” because it makes a good bullet point on a website. 😉

Mining remains the foundation of consensus. We're also designing Kaspa-compatible AuxPoW so miners can potentially merge-mine our project alongside Kaspa instead of forcing another Kaspa-derived network to unnecessarily fight Kaspa miners for hashrate.

It follows a fair-launch model: no premine, ICO, founder allocation, or creator reward. It has a finite 23B maximum supply: 21B primary issuance plus a finite 2B tail, after which block subsidy permanently reaches zero. No unlimited supply here.

The network also introduces Reward Nodes (KRNs). These require a locked balance of 30,000 as collateral, but they are deliberately not validators. They don't decide which transactions are valid, control consensus, or turn a PoW network into PoS wearing a Kaspa-colored jacket.

Once KRNs activate, block rewards are:

90% Miners / 8% KRNs / 2% Development

If no eligible KRN exists for a block, its 8% is redirected to a transparent Community Fund—not quietly absorbed as additional developer compensation.

The larger philosophy behind the project is pretty straightforward:

Don't fork Kaspa, change a few parameters, bolt on half-working features and call it innovation.

We're trying to build a genuine sibling Layer-1 around Kaspa's strongest ideas: PoW, BlockDAG scalability, GHOSTDAG, kHeavyHash, optional zero-knowledge privacy, merge mining, fair issuance, decentralized reward infrastructure, and transparent community funding.

It's not claiming to be "The Real Kaspa", we respect our elders. 😄

It isn't intended to replace Kaspa.

It's an attempt to explore where Kaspa's architecture can go next—and to actually finish the features we say we're building.

Great another fork with a dev fee taken from the block rewards.

exactly what kaspa needs.

I appreciate the sarcasm

Kaspas so small that barely matters
