TL;DR:
- Kaspa partners with Dymension to enable rollups and liquidity raising without changing its L1.
- KAS serves as gas, launchpad funding, and trading asset on Dymension, boosting blockspace demand.
- Validator-powered bridge ensures secure, cross-chain asset transfers, supporting scalable DeFi on Kaspa.
Kaspa, a high-throughput proof-of-work network, excels in low latency and decentralization but lacks native smart contract support. By integrating with Dymension, a rollup launchpad, Kaspa projects can now bootstrap KAS-based liquidity and deploy rollups, leveraging Kaspa for data availability and KAS as a gas token, opening a new era of scalable DeFi solutions.

KAS Powers Rollups and Launchpad Innovation
The Beyond upgrade enables KAS as a launchpad asset, allowing the Kaspa community to fund emerging projects directly on Dymension. Users can raise liquidity in KAS, trade on Dymension’s DEX, and develop DeFi protocols, stablecoins, or gaming applications, creating utility and demand for KAS while retaining Kaspa’s base layer.
The validator-powered bridge ensures secure KAS transfers between Kaspa and Dymension. Deposits on Kaspa are observed by validators, signed off-chain, and minted as wKAS on Dymension, while withdrawals burn wKAS and unlock KAS on Kaspa. This architecture maintains trust and integrity for rollups and cross-chain asset flows.
Kaspa rollups post transaction data to Kaspa while Dymension validators enforce valid state. This separation of data availability and settlement boosts Kaspa’s blockspace demand, rewards miners, and allows rollup creators to innovate using KAS for gas and liquidity, effectively turning Kaspa into a DeFi-ready ecosystem.
Dymension’s Launchpad and embedded DEX expand KAS utility. Projects can create trading pairs, provide liquidity, and build smart-contract-based applications. Soon, a general-purpose EVM Kaspa L2 will launch, further enhancing smart contract capabilities while keeping KAS central to the ecosystem’s financial and operational activity.
