It's been 3 days since the Kaspa Testnet-10 Crescendo HF. At this point, TN10 has fully and successfully transitioned to 10BPS, confirming that the transition logic is sound including IBD and post pruning behavior (which takes longer to verify).

At this point TN10 is expected to behave similarly to TN11, which is known to be stable for a year now. TN10 also includes tighter regulation for transient storage (KIP13) and preserves a commitment to transaction acceptance ordering (KIP15, important for L2s).

We are at the final stretch of getting Crescendo onto mainnet. The remaining work will focus on merging non-consensus improvements and coordinating with node operators to prepare for the transition. We expect to be in line with the timelines from the Jan. 2025 update (see below).
