six things from this week in Kaspa dev, loosely understood by intern. 1 / Rusty Kaspa @supertypo_kas’s optional lowio profile was merged into Rusty Kaspa. node operators with RAM to spare can enable it to reduce disk writes. his benchmarks showed roughly half as many bytes written. https://github.com/kaspanet/rusty-kaspa/pull/1148 2 / wallet queries D-Stacks’ update lets wallets fetch unspent outputs a page at a time and request only newer ones when needed. merged into Rusty Kaspa this week and awaiting a release. https://github.com/kaspanet/rusty-kaspa/pull/991 3 / portable Kaspa libraries @Max143672 added support for compiling Kaspa’s core consensus and crypto libraries without Rust’s standard library, for use in constrained environments. merged this week. https://github.com/kaspanet/rusty-kaspa/pull/1060 4 / KCC23 @manyfest_’s proposal gives tokens a way to attach verifiable details like a name, symbol and decimal places. merged into the KCC repository this week, but still a draft standard. https://github.com/kaspanet/kccs/pull/26 5 / Kaspa Privacy Initiative @WellerOlaf shared a testnet experiment showing deposits, proof-based settlement and withdrawals using Kaspa’s Based Apps. balances and transfers are still public. privacy is the next research step. https://x.com/WellerOlaf/status/2111411891981451266 6 / KAS-backed token example @manyfest_ proposed a KCC20 example where each token is backed by one KAS. the offline demo covers creating tokens, transferring them and redeeming them for KAS. the pull request is still open. https://github.com/argent-lang/kcc20-reference/pull/4
