What is Kaspa Silverscript? Kaspa recently announced that the Silverscript v1 release candidate is live ahead of the mainnet launch. But what is it? Simply put, Silverscript is Kaspa's first high-level smart contract language and compiler; With Silverscript, developers can write clear covenant contracts that compile straight to native... Kaspa Script, without a virtual machine, a second execution context, or global account state. - Silverscript aims at making the covenant primitives introduced after Toccata in Kaspa usable and readable. - Developers can write their covenants using a CashScript-like language and compile their contracts to a locking script, ABI, and covenant plumbing code. Language features Kaspa Silverscript features the following lines of code; - Loops and arrays - Function calls and helper functions - explicit types, structs, and typed literals - transaction introspection - signature checks, hashtags, and verification built-ins - covenant declarations that generate transition wrappers What can developers create with Silverscript? 1.) Escrow and milestone payments 2.) Recurring or streaming payments 3.) Vesting and dead-man’s-switch custody 4.) Native fungible assets (KCC20-style conventions) 5.) Atomic swaps 6.) Simple stateful objects such as counters 7.) ZK-aware checks that call the on-chain Groth16 / RISC Zero precompil If v1 works, Kaspa will have an authorship pathway for L1 covenants that doesn't add a second runtime for audits. This is less than “Solidity on Kaspa,” but it is the point. Silverscript is a platform for vaults, assets, and local state contracts and the foundational layer for the future shared state.show more
