the readthroughput rose to 2.83 transactions per second from 2.78, the fourth rise in a row and the highest reading in this series. last monday we called the forty fold jump in covenant activity a spike we count, not a plateau we can promise, and said that thousands again this monday would make it a level. it reads 15,071 a day. active addresses held at 21,170 against 22,125, three times the 7,351 of two mondays ago. it was a level. the l2 split stays blank, the per-chain transaction counts still have no working source.

the readabout $128K a day changes hands on kaspa DEXs, up on the week, and this time the growth came from the large side. kasplex $113K gained 10.3 percent while igra $14K gave back 12.2 percent of last week's jump, so kasplex is eight times the larger venue again. locked value recovered on both layers, igra to 1.02 million dollars and both layers together to 1.39 million, after last week's drop of a third. igra still carries 73 percent of the value and 11 percent of the trading. last monday it was 73 and 14.

the readjust over half of all KAS still has not moved in a year, 50.97 percent, up from 50.76 and the highest share since we started counting. addresses holding a balance rose to 792,098, another record, though the weekly gains have shrunk to a few hundred. mining power set a fresh high, 339.08 PH per second, up 6.4 percent on the week, and the middle window agrees, over thirty days it stands 14.7 percent higher. only the long window still points down, over ninety days 25.8 percent lower. the reward cut on friday made every one of those hashes earn less. does merged mining take hashrate? →

the readlast week the chain's largest address let coins go for the first time. this week it went back to buying, +4.77M KAS this week, the last deposit on september 4, the day of the reward cut. it holds 1.52 billion KAS, having bought 1.56B KAS in total at an average of $0.0870, our own calculation from every transaction on chain. all told, 44.4M KAS have left the wallet in 22 transfers since 2024, 2.84% of everything it ever bought. one move out does not make a seller, and one week of deposits does not make a bottom. we count both. the full record →
