With so many app integrations, new exchanges, Kaspa Ambassador’s onboarding and meetups around the globe, we wanted to make sure all are aware of the progress on the RUST Re-write and other developments! Not only is the progress going well, more and more contributors are jumping in to help!
We hope to give regular updates to keep the community in the loop with the help of coderofstuff (Community Dev) acting as a feeder of tech news from the development team’s ongoing efforts.

10bps Testnet 11 Relaunch
Nov 21, 2023
Here’s an update on the current state of affairs for the 10bps Testnet 11 relaunch. We tested it internally and have identified opportunities for further improvement. We are working on these as we speak. 
If you are interested in the specifics, hop on over to GitHub and check out the recent Pull Requests getting drafted and merged in.
We are targeting an internal relaunch to verify the fixes on Dec. 2 with a gradual load increase and growing mempool pressure. If we are satisfied with the results we will set a date for the public relaunch which extends the experiment to a global-scale distributed network.
RUST REWRITE UPDATE
DEC 2, 2023
A major refactor that optimizes how we’re storing records in the local db has been completed and it is undergoing testing (takes a few days)
We’re still working on other related changes to efficiently function under higher BPS. This means we are slightly holding off the internal TN11 restart until this refactor work is done – but it puts us in a much better position when we do restart.
For the technical, the GitHub references are:
Block children relation storage refactor
Reachability refactor
The storage use performance improves from O(N2) to O(N) – A massive improvement over previous implementation.
