Kaspa Privacy Initiative Completes First Off-Chain Proof Settlement Test on Testnet

Olaf Weller of the Kaspa Privacy Initiative successfully conducted a testnet settlement test using KIP-21 ordering and RISC Zero zero-knowledge proofs. The mechanism processed a deposit and payout while a Kaspa node rejected a test settlement that skipped a queued instruction.

Why it matters for Kaspa
