**Open Letter to Vlad Tenev**

Vlad,

Robinhood already lists plenty of coins that are narrative first and infrastructure second. Kaspa is the opposite. It’s time to list
$KAS
$Kaspa is the people’s coin. Fair launched. Proof of work. No premine. No VC allocation. No insider float hanging over retail. Every coin was mined. That alone should matter to a platform that built its brand on giving regular people access.
The tech is not a slogan. BlockDAG and GHOSTDAG let the network produce blocks in parallel instead of waiting in a single-file line.
Crescendo took it to 10 blocks per second. Toccata went live on mainnet June 30, 2026 and added native L1 covenants and on-chain ZK proof verification. Payments were already fast and cheap.
Programmability is now on the base layer without turning the chain into another account-model copy.
That combination of speed, PoW security, decentralization, and now real L1 programmability is rare. Most “fast” chains trade away one of those. Kaspa doesn’t.
Robinhood’s own product direction makes the listing more obvious, not less. You’re building Robinhood Chain for tokenized stocks and you already list speculative names because retail wants them. Kaspa sits in a better spot than most of those listings: real throughput, real security model, growing builder activity, and a community that actually holds instead of rotating every week.
Listing
$KAS does three things for you:
1. Gives your users a high-throughput PoW asset that isn’t Bitcoin or a Bitcoin fork with extra branding.
2. Puts Robinhood in front of a community that has been asking for this listing for a long time and will actually use the product.
3. Aligns with the access story better than another meme with no base-layer reason to exist.
I’m not asking you to shill it. I’m asking your listings team to do the work. Look at the launch history, the hashrate, the post-Toccata capability set, and the holder distribution. Then decide on the merits.
Kaspa is the people’s coin. It’s time.
Sincerely,
The Kaspa Community
