<tr><td>Toccata has activated on mainnet</td><td><span class="status-pill live">Live protocol</span></td><td>True. Toccata is live, activated at DAA 474,165,565; v2.0.1 is the current release. App, wallet, explorer, SDK, and user adoption are separate, still-open checks.</td><td><a href="/toccata-status">Toccata page</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>TN10 Toccata test means mainnet activation</td><td><span class="status-pill target">Testnet only</span></td><td>tn10-toc2, tn10-toc3, and the Testnet-10 DAA evidence are testnet-only. v2.0.0 is what set the mainnet activation score.</td><td><a href="https://github.com/kaspanet/rusty-kaspa/releases/tag/v2.0.0">v2.0.0 activation release</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>TN12 proves mainnet covenants</td><td><span class="status-pill target">Testnet only</span></td><td>TN12 is testnet evidence. Mainnet claims need the activation score plus mainnet evidence, which Toccata now has.</td><td><a href="/status">status</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Kaspa has mature native smart contracts</td><td><span class="status-pill not-live">Not yet</span></td><td>Toccata shipped the covenant and proof-check layer; mature native DeFi and full app infrastructure are still ahead, through later vProgs work.</td><td><a href="/toccata-status">smart-contract status</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>July 2026 is a sudden emission cliff</td><td><span class="status-pill not-live">Misleading</span></td><td>Emission steps down monthly: 27.5 KAS/sec from May 8, 25.9565436 from June 7, 24.49971475 from July 7.

<tr><td>vProgs have shipped as production app infrastructure</td><td><span class="status-pill roadmap">Roadmap</span></td><td>vProgs are roadmap architecture and early framework work, still pre-testnet. A live Kaspa-native app layer needs its own shipped-product evidence.</td><td><a href="https://github.com/kaspanet/vprogs">vprogs repo</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Argent proves Kaspa smart contracts are production-ready</td><td><span class="status-pill research">Research</span></td><td>Argent is experimental actor-style frontend work for Silverscript covenant contracts: research and tooling evidence. Audit, stable ABI, transaction-builder, and production readiness are separate, unmet bars.</td><td><a href="https://github.com/michaelsutton/argent">Argent repo</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Native DeFi has shipped as a mature Kaspa L1 product layer</td><td><span class="status-pill roadmap">Roadmap</span></td><td>Kaskad/Igra-style L2 lending is ecosystem context around Kaspa, separate from native L1 DeFi. Native L1 DeFi still needs its own app primitives, wallets, liquidity, custody, risk controls, and users.</td><td><a href="/application-layer">app layer</a></td></tr>
