Bottom to top: each layer exists to make the one below it usable. One sentence, one analogy, and an honest maturity badge each.
Kaspa Script + Covenants++
productionRules built into the money itself. A covenant is a lock on coins that says exactly how they are allowed to move next — and the chain refuses any spend that breaks the rule.
The vault door: the combination logic is machined into the door itself, not written on a sign next to it.
Full page →Silverscript
pre-auditA language for writing rules the chain itself enforces — without wiring the raw script by hand. You describe the allowed state changes; the compiler produces the covenant.
Writing the combination logic for the vault door — without machining the door yourself.
Full page →Argent
experimentalAn app framework one level up: instead of one contract, you write actors — separate covenants that talk to each other — and Argent compiles the whole app down through Silverscript.
Many vault doors that work together: each actor is a door, and Argent wires the corridors between them.
Full page →KCC-20
last-callTokens built as covenants, so supply and transfer rules are checked by Kaspa consensus itself — no off-chain bookkeeper has to be trusted. Live and traded on mainnet, and the written standard entered Last Call on 2026-10-07 — the final review window before Final.
Tokens whose rulebook is machined into the vault door — nobody outside the chain keeps the score.
Full page →vProgs / CDAG
roadmapPrograms that live natively inside Kaspa's DAG rather than being encoded as covenant scripts. The kaspanet/vprogs repo is public — a Rust framework for provable computation, in early development. Not something you can deploy on mainnet today.
Blueprints for a smarter vault — now pinned up in a public workshop, but the vault isn't built yet.
Full page →Checkpoint — 3 quick questions
Silverscript compiles down to…
You describe the allowed state changes; the compiler produces the covenant the chain understands. You never wire the raw script by hand.
Argent is the right layer when…
Actors + ICC exist exactly for multi-contract apps. One contract alone is Silverscript territory — and Argent has no tagged release yet.
vProgs today are…
Native DAG programs are the research track beyond covenants. Anyone selling you a vProg today is early by definition.
