Happy birthday, Kaspa! Running my home Kaspa + Igra public bare metal node at 78.47.92.245. @RunOnFlux is great, but this is for people who enjoy suffering for the craft.

Pulling this up from Kaspa Discord. For me the key concept [of vProgs] is logic zones aka sovereign execution environments. These are not overlapping chunks of global state. Any zone can be written only by its master VM with its gas rules, and zones compose atomically. (Using

Dymension building on Kaspa: https://t.co/1h4msyfVdx. Using L1 for DA only is interesting. Curious how L1 pruning is handled @dymension?

Several unfiltered thoughts -- very complex topic. 0. "L2" is overloaded and misleading. @terah4d5 can we have a better term? 1. vProg is a design pattern, not an entity. The core idea is logic zones, sovereign execution envs that can interop. You can implement logic zones in

@emdin @hashdag I wonder about that and raised it here https://t.co/92RQB4kDu9 but in the Litepaper Igra is named "general-purpose"โ€”or does that not contradict the "compliance" part? Also, why would compliance/incompliance rollups be needed (meaning, why vProgs are insufficient for that)?

If there is a button, it will be pushed. If a chain can be censored -- even for the best reason -- it will be. By separating execution and consensus, based rollups on BlockDAG make censorship impossible.

When discussing concepts [like sovereignty], the simplest test is: how does it affect me personally? For instance, as a KAS holder, I'd like to enable KAS collateralisation through apps like @AppKaskad -- to unlock working capital without losing exposure (in plain terms,

Great podcast with @_prestwich (industry veteran now building a based rollup on Ethereum). Key insight: ZK proving is 5x harder than building the rollup itself. "Building the rollup takes a year, building the proof takes four."

Side note 1: can't express how invigorating is to finally debate fundamentals with the core team. This level of technical depth and rigor is exactly what we need. Side note 2: should allow to myself share more unfiltered thoughts.

Yes, I understand atomic syncompo can be immensely hard. Point is vProg standard allows for diverse VMs, and SVM has some very interesting solutions for sovereignty for those who dislike EVM account and state model.

Btw, once ZK opcodes are there, the next natural candidate for Igra is Solana VM. Reth is Rust, so smth like RISC-0 can be used to prove and stitch their states on L1. Having atomic [syn]compo between two can be a catalyst for the very cool things.

To answer the questions weโ€™ve been getting: Igra Testnet is not affected by the AWS outage. Neither we nor our community ops rely on major cloud services, most of nodes are bare metal. This is the essence of decentralization -- diverse node hosting adds resilience to the system.

Great to meet with @Blocksonkas and hear their unique perspective. Miners are pillars of Kaspa -- they secure the fastest decentralized sequencer on earth. Any roadmap without them is shortsighted.
