Computer science, graph theory, parallelism, consensus; taking Kaspa to the next level
Joined February 2021
“Fast, wide and yet thin” and its relation to “Based ZK rollups over Kaspa” . Kaspa is built on advanced proof-of-work consensus protocols allowing it to scale in blocks (BPS; frequency; fast) and in transactions (TPS; throughput; wide).

Started breaking down the notorious verifiable progs (vProgs) proposal. See my recent for a zoom-in on a formal backbone model of the computational DAG which should shed additional light. The above linked post is still mainly for the highly-informed

RT @FreshAir08: Imagine people were like "we don't need optical fibers, the internet scales in layers". The OSI model consists of 7 layers,….

Did I ever tell you about the maximum likelihood thesis? .(as a way of looking at consensus protocols, and specifically gaining intuition towards longest chain/k-clusters).

There’s so much I want to say and share thoughts and observations about, but so little time.

Raw thoughts re Kaspa’s next big upgrade(s). You don’t end on a crescendo, and it is no secret that several anticipated upgrades are waiting on the sidelines for Kaspa. Primarily, the Dagknight (DK) protocol and the ZK L1<>L2 bridge. These two major endeavors may look.

More on this .
Axiom: Every L1—simplified or not—should be built on multi‑leader consensus foundations. It is both an enabler and a critical feature in its own right. Enabler: multi-leader=parallelism -> allows block times which are shorter than global RTT. Feature: The same parallelism

(post as per @elimmea’s request to try and make this fact common knowledge).
@realvijayk Using @michaelsuttonil's words, and I'll adopt these them as if they were common knowledge from now on,. bitcoin isn't intra-round decentralized. I want the kaspa community to realize, in simple terms, how the tech is so much more than just a fast PoW. cf.

In simple words: . Kaspa has intra-round decentralization.
@realvijayk Another one cuz why not. In a single leader consensus, when a block is mined, the proposer effectively becomes a dictator for the set of transactions. It can order them as it sees fit, censor, add its own etc. A multi-leader consensus is orders of magnitude more secure to these.

Work-in-progress draft. ~100-line outline already written. I see this isn’t going to be a walk in the park. There’s so much to write about.

Someone is quietly taking kdapp to the next level here (see my prev posts on this). I’m eagerly following, and so should you if you find this initiative interesting. The way I see it, the kdapp infra, although minimal, created the required isolation (via proper abstractions) so.
This weekend, I'll refactor the kaspa-auth code for better modularity, creating a solid foundation for episode-contract and kaspa-poker-tournament examples. Stay tuned! #kdapp.

btw, worth mentioning that the pattern matching idea from the linked post below was implemented in kdapp infra as a mechanism for fetching only pattern-matching txns from the node (thus saving bandwidth and processing costs, while the original purpose was reducing long term.

2/2 Technical zoom-in: The goal was to build a fast, open-source prototype where anyone can implement a simple “episode” interface for a custom game. We put together a fast codebase for listening to node transactions, filtering them, verifying signatures, and feeding commands to.

1/2 What if you could build high-frequency dapps on Kaspa in minutes? That’s the idea we (@freshair08, @elldeeone; inspired by @hashdag) have been exploring with Kdapp, a small “weekend effort” side project to highlight Kaspa’s blazing 10bps. It has been a true pleasure to see
