KAS (KAS)

Whenever I'm asked if I will ever consider rejoining Kaspa core, I respond that I can't work with people I can't trust. Maybe I should clarify what I mean by that with an example. During the last year or so, there have been three contenders for programmability on Kaspa: Kasplex's ZKEVM, Igra, and Kaspa core's vProgs. The two people leading the core, Michael and Yonatan, spoke very openly about their disagreement with Igra, to the extent of pontificating on marginal details while blowing them out of proportion, or presenting their own narrative and perspective as a factual truth that is derived from science. On the other hand, when Kasplex refused to reveal any details about how their protocol works, made inconsistent and evasive statements, even libelous accusations, when Kurve set up a bridge with 1.5% withdrawal fee, deliberately burying this detail in fine print, effectively robbing the community? Not a peep. Why? Probably a mixture of personal vendetta (there is a clear correlation between Yonatan badmouthing Igra and rumors of my involvement), and subjugation (core avoids talking about Kasplex because they rely on KEF money). Whatever is going on there behind closed doors, I want the protocol to be very clear that I had nothing to do with it when it all comes crashing down. My decision might have cost me some money and status, but it's a small price to pay to know I'm not involved with a crew that, in its silence, allows the exploitation of the community I helped cultivate. Obviously, there are a lot more personal and professional aspects to this rift, including things I am not at liberty to discuss (though I am ever increasingly tempted to blow the whistle on some of them). But that's the gist of it. The tech is still awesome, and most of core are talented, driven people with good intentions, so I'm not throwing the towel on the entire thing just yet. But I hope things will change for the better soon, because the more desperate KEF gets, the more people who criticize them they manage to bully and scare away, the more egregious they will become in their schemes to wrench Kaspa from the hands of uninformed customers. And you cannot expect anyone from core to protect you without risking losing resources they depend on. I'm so glad I'm not in their position.

Indeed, the whole infrastructure of @eliottmea's COB oracle has already been built by @ColagrandePaul, and we're now integrating the model onchain for final testings. Once fully operational, the oracle will be available for the whole #Kaspa ecosystem ie Kasplex/Igra/Kaspa L1. We're thankful the @Kaspa_KEF was able to support Eliott in his research, and we're here to provide continuity for his work, acting like a lab environment with extra workforce to help him turn his research into applicable services for everyone, not just Kaskad. #researchandbuild
