What is Igra Bridged Kaspa (IKAS)?
Igra Bridged Kaspa (iKAS) is the native gas token of Igra Network, an EVM-compatible, based-rollup execution layer built on top of Kaspa, a proof-of-work BlockDAG Layer 1. Each iKAS represents one KAS bridged from Kaspa Layer 1 and is backed 1:1 by KAS locked in Igra's canonical bridge contracts on Kaspa. iKAS is used to pay transaction fees, deploy and interact with smart contracts, and settle value within the Igra Network ecosystem. Igra Network is a based rollup, meaning transaction sequencing is delegated to Kaspa's Layer 1 consensus rather than performed by a standalone sequencer.
How does Igra Bridged Kaspa work?
This design inherits Kaspa's proof-of-work security, leaderless BlockDAG ordering, and MEV-resistance properties while adding an EVM execution environment derived from Reth. The network targets over 3,000 transactions per second with sub-second inclusion latency and supports standard Ethereum tooling such as Hardhat, Foundry, MetaMask, and the JSON-RPC interface. A security audit of the core protocol was performed by Sigma Prime.
