<p><a href="https://x.com/Kasplex" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Kasplex</a>, the EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain built on <a href="https://x.com/kaspaunchained" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@kaspaunchained</a>, has posted a sharp acceleration in on-chain activity over the past two months. The network has now crossed 20,000 accounts, with more than 1,500 tokens created on-chain. Most strikingly, three-month transaction volume has jumped to over 600,000, up from roughly 100,000 reported in July, when average daily transactions stood at around 1,094.</p>
<p>The growth underlines rising developer and user interest in Kaspa's expanding application layer. Kasplex is a Layer 2 solution built on top of Kaspa's BlockDAG-based Layer 1, designed to add Ethereum-style smart contract functionality to a network that uses a UTXO model and has no native contract layer. In technical documentation, Kasplex describes itself as a lightweight rollup solution, embedding EVM bytecode into Kaspa L1 transactions and executing it off-chain while using Kaspa for ordering and data availability.</p>
<h2 id="a-growing-ecosystem-on-a-high-throughput-base-layer">A Growing Ecosystem on a High-Throughput Base Layer</h2>
<p>Built on Based-Rollup technology and fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, Kasplex is designed to introduce DeFi, NFT, and decentralised application functionality to the Kaspa ecosystem. Through a dedicated Relayer module, Kasplex enables conversion between Ethereum and Kaspa transaction formats, allowing developers and users to use familiar Ethereum wallets and tools, significantly lowering barriers for ecosystem interoperability.</p>
<p>The Layer 2's momentum sits on top of an already active base chain. Kaspa currently operates at 10 blocks per second, a milestone achieved with the Crescendo hard fork in May 2025. Scaling targets for 2026 and 2027 aim to push network throughput from 10 to 25, 40, and eventually 100 blocks per second. At the L1 level, the broader network's cumulative activity is substantial: Kaspa has now processed more than 2.3 billion transactions on its mainnet, alongside roughly 462 million blocks processed by the network.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Gate has connected its exchange infrastructure to the Kasplex Layer 2 network, enabling <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24KAS&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$KAS</a> deposits and withdrawals via L2. The integration is intended to lower user barriers, improve $KAS circulation, and deepen on-chain activity across the Kaspa ecosystem. As Kasplex continues to improve its infrastructure, the combination of rising transaction counts, a growing token ecosystem, and exchange-level support points to a network that is steadily moving beyond early-stage adoption.</p>
