Kaspa has quickly become one of the most innovative and high-performance projects in the proof-of-work space. Built for speed and scalability, Kaspa has attracted a loyal community of miners and developers alike. Now, with the upcoming Kaspa Crescendo hard fork, the project is taking a major leap forward - and NiceHash is here to help you make the most of it.

The Kaspa Crescendo Fork: A Major Milestone

Set to activate at DAA score 110,165,000, estimated around May 5th, 2025, the Crescendo fork marks a critical moment in Kaspa’s evolution. Rather than relying on block height like most cryptocurrencies, Kaspa schedules upgrades based on the DAA score (Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm score)—a reflection of network activity and mining conditions.

So, what’s changing?

• 10x Throughput: The Crescendo fork will boost Kaspa’s current network from 1 block per second (BPS) to 10 BPS, increasing transaction capacity by tenfold. This means faster confirmations and a more scalable network ready for future growth.
• Enhanced Security: With more frequent block creation and improved efficiency in the blockDAG architecture, the fork will also strengthen the network's security and resistance to attacks.

For miners, this upgrade means more action, more opportunity, and more reason to pay attention.
