Gate has integrated Kasplex Layer 2 on Kaspa, opening a direct bridge for users to move KAS onto an EVM\u2011compatible DeFi environment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gate has officially integrated<\/a> the Kasplex Layer 2 network, allowing users to move Kaspa\u2019s native token KAS between the Kaspa Layer 1 chain and Kasplex L2 directly through the exchange. According to Gate, customers can now \u201ctransfer KAS from Kaspa L1 to the Kasplex L2 wallet,\u201d a step the platform says will \u201csignificantly\u201d reduce entry barriers while \u201cenhancing asset circulation and on\u2011chain interaction\u201d for KAS holders.<\/a><\/p>\n Kasplex is a Layer 2 solution built on top of Kaspa\u2019s BlockDAG\u2011based Layer 1 and is designed to add Ethereum\u2011style smart contract functionality to a network that, like Bitcoin, uses a UTXO model and has no native contract layer. In technical documentation, Kasplex describes itself as \u201ca lightweight Rollup solution based on Kaspa,\u201d embedding EVM bytecode into Kaspa L1 transactions and executing it off\u2011chain to update Layer 2 state while using Kaspa for ordering and data availability.<\/p>\n In posts on X, the Kasplex team has stressed that the network uses bridged $KAS as its only gas token, rather than introducing a separate L2 asset, in order to \u201cpreserve economic alignment and keep value within the Kaspa ecosystem.\u201d The project offers a two\u2011way bridge for moving KAS between L1 and L2 and says smart\u2011contract deployment is \u201cas simple as redirecting RPC endpoints,\u201d with the aim of making it easy for developers familiar with EVM tooling to launch applications on Kasplex.<\/p>\n Kasplex\u2019s architecture is pitched as a way to unlock DeFi, NFTs and other dApps on Kaspa by combining the base chain\u2019s high\u2011throughput BlockDAG design with EVM\u2011compatible execution. Kasplex notes that by using Kaspa L1 for canonical transaction ordering and data, its Rollup\u2011style design can support automated market makers, lending and borrowing markets, stablecoins and other composable protocols that \u201ccannot be realized on the primary chain\u201d alone.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kaspa itself has become one of the more actively traded mid\u2011cap layer\u20111 tokens, with a live price of about $0.0345, a 24\u2011hour trading range between roughly $0.0340 and $0.0353, and a recent 24\u2011hour volume near $26.4 million. CoinMarketCap data puts Kaspa\u2019s all\u2011time high at $0.2075, meaning KAS currently trades more than 80% below its peak, a gap backers hope additional L2 utility can help narrow over time.<\/a><\/p>\n Kaspa community posts have framed Kasplex as \u201ca huge milestone ahead of imminent mainnet,\u201d highlighting growing momentum around node decentralization, liquidity pools and wallet integrations, including tutorials on bridging KAS and adding the L2 network to Kasware and MetaMask. By wiring Kasplex directly into its deposit and withdrawal rails, Gate is betting that a smoother path onto L2 will translate into more KAS moving into smart contracts, and more activity across Kaspa\u2019s expanding DeFi stack.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gate has integrated Kasplex Layer 2 on Kaspa, opening a direct bridge for users to move KAS onto an EVM\u2011compatible DeFi environment.
