Developer Resources | Kaspalytics

This page catalogs what the community has built around Kaspa. The three official SDKs - Rust, WASM and Python - are not listed here. They have their own page: the official SDKs.

Everything below is third party. None of it carries core team support guarantees, and some of it is explicitly pre-release. Check the commit history before you depend on any of it.

Covenant Tooling

Argent is an actor-based language for stateful covenant apps. Written by Michael Sutton. .ag source compiles to auditable Silverscript, so you can read what the compiler produced. See also the examples and a starter template. Under active development and not release-ready. Unrelated to the Ethereum wallet of the same name. Start with the design doc.

Community Language Libraries

Bindings for languages the official SDKs do not cover. All are community-maintained.

Dart has two independent implementations. azbuky/kaspa_dart and Kasway-Tech/kaspa_sdk. Neither derives from rusty-kaspa, so verify behavior against a node before trusting either in production.

For anything else, generate a gRPC client from the proto definitions in the node repo. Getting Started covers that path.

Faucets

Canonical list - other pages link here rather than restating URLs.

TN10 is the active public testnet. faucet-testnet.kaspanet.io also resolves and has been cited for TN10 - use whichever responds.
TN12 is the covenants testnet. Use it for anything involving covenant opcodes.

No TN11 faucet is listed. Testnet-11 is defunct, with node support dropped from rusty-kaspa in v0.17.0 (March 2025). See the network list.

Third Party Docs

The Kaspa MDBook covers integrating with Kaspa end to end. Aimed at exchanges and services taking deposits.
DeepWiki is a generated walkthrough of the rusty-kaspa source. Useful for finding your way around the node codebase when the rustdoc is too narrow.

Dev Workshops

Recorded sessions from core contributors. Older ones predate Crescendo, so treat specifics as historical.

UTXO State Processing - July 16, 2024.
The Reachability Oracle - October 9, 2024.
Performance - June 4, 2025.

Community Infrastructure

The Kaspa Research Forum is where protocol proposals get argued out. Read it before writing a KIP.
The Public Node Network list shows live node status across mainnet and testnets. Version, sync status, peers and client load, useful for picking a public endpoint or checking whether a testnet is actually up.
