The Kaspa Eco Foundation has officially launched its Katalyst Ecosystem Plan Series 1, aiming to drive significant growth and innovation within the Kaspa ecosystem. With an impressive $10 million in funding, the initiative seeks to support developers, users, and infrastructure development through a multi-phase campaign.

The plan will include grants, developer and user education, infrastructure advancements, and community events, ensuring a wide range of opportunities for the Kaspa community to contribute and benefit. This launch is just the start of what promises to be a transformative journey for Kaspa’s ecosystem.

Stay tuned for more updates.

The Kaspa Ambassador Program (KAP), first conceived in early 2022, has officially relaunched with a fresh vision and new leadership. Initially designed to harness the passion and energy of the Kaspa community, KAP empowers individuals to become key leaders in their regions, promoting Kaspa through resources like graphics, promo materials, and presentations in local languages.

Unlike many other projects that rely heavily on paid influencers and ads, KAP invests in its community, turning dedicated members into Kaspa’s ambassadors. Since its launch in March 2023, KAP has grown to over 30 ambassadors in countries including Nigeria, Australia, Japan, the USA, and many others, thanks to support from the Community Marketing Fund (CMF) and mentorship from the Rhubarbarians team.

Now, as part of its next chapter, the torch has been passed to Luke, one of the earliest ambassadors, who will lead the program into a new era of growth. Luke is set to implement a revamped structure, a streamlined application process, and new resources like an Ambassador Handbook and the FUDBuster initiative to equip ambassadors with the tools to combat misinformation.

With exciting developments on the horizon, including the upcoming Crescendo hard fork, KAP is positioned for exponential growth in the next 12 months, with plans to double or even triple the number of ambassadors. The relaunch brings new opportunities for both existing and incoming ambassadors to play a more significant role in spreading Kaspa’s mission globally.

Luke, the new director of the program, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I’m incredibly honored to receive the torch and guide the program through its next phase. My vision is to continue empowering ambassadors to represent Kaspa both locally and globally, building a strong, vibrant community.”

The program’s future looks bright, with plans for more ambassador swag, additional educational resources, and a restructured budgeting process to support meetups and events. Kaspa’s Ambassador Program is set to be a key driver of growth as the project continues to make strides in the blockchain space.

The Kaspa Industrial Initiative (Kii) has officially launched, aiming to harness Kaspa’s innovative BlockDAG technology to transform industries by improving efficiency, security, and scalability. Kii seeks to build a global network of leading companies and industry partners, promoting the adoption of Kaspa’s next-generation blockchain platform across key sectors such as finance, supply chain, energy, gaming, and public services.

Kaspa’s BlockDAG technology marks a major advancement in blockchain development, solving the blockchain trilemma by delivering scalability, security, and decentralization all at once. Its ability to create parallel blocks significantly increases transaction throughput while maintaining robust security through its proof-of-work consensus, making it ideal for large-scale industrial applications.

Kii is led by Chairman Paul van Son, a veteran in the international energy sector with over 40 years of experience, and Secretary General Bara Greplova, who brings extensive expertise in blockchain adoption and industrial use cases. Under their leadership, Kii will focus on integrating Kaspa’s technology into real-world industrial scenarios, launching support programs for startups, and advocating for favorable policies through a Global Regulatory Advisory Board.

To further expand Kaspa’s industrial applications, Kii will host the Kaspa in Enterprise Conference in Autumn 2024 in Dublin, Ireland. This event will gather leaders across various sectors to explore Kaspa’s potential in areas like asset tokenization, decentralized finance, and next-gen stablecoins.

With its cutting-edge technology and a strong leadership team, Kii is set to pave the way for a new era of industrial blockchain innovation.

On the 30th of August 2024, during the WebX Tokyo Conference, the Kaspa Japanese Ecosystem Association, KJEA organized a vibrant side event with congratulation of KEF support. About 20 participants were gathered, including the developers of AAVE, miners of Kaspa, holders, as well as those who just came to the event, which made the event rather active.

Thus, the event included the presentation of the BlockDAG technology of Kaspa and the benefits of using it instead of blockchain. In the event a formal introduction of the KJEA was made, which’s main goal is the promotion of Kaspa in Japan and the world.

Kaspa-based payment was one of the most exciting moments. It was the realization of the first Kaspa-based payment in Japan especially when the company managed to record impressive growth rates and shares increased significantly. With assistance from the venue, the implementation of the special menu was organized in such a way that the participants could pay for the meals with Kaspa, which was also a major step in further development and integration of Kaspa in the Japanese territory.

At the end of the event, representatives of the Kaspa Ecosystem Foundation went on the stage to express their gratitude to everybody and to share their enthusiasm of Kaspa development. They played a significant role of supporting through providing merchandise and enhancing the success of the event.

The event helped not only to strengthen the community but also brought the prospect of the Kaspa development in the Japanese market.
