Igra Labs has opened public access to Igra Network, a decentralized EVM-compatible execution layer built on Kaspa's proof-of-work BlockDAG. The mainnet launch marks a major milestone for projects seeking high-throughput, secure execution while preserving compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Developers and users can now interact directly with a production-grade network that leverages Kaspa’s unique BlockDAG architecture.
The decision to move from testnet to mainnet follows an extensive testing phase: Igra Network’s testnet processed over 730,000 transactions across 21 million blocks with zero state divergence. Those results highlight the network’s stability and consensus resilience on Kaspa’s PoW BlockDAG, demonstrating that the decentralized execution layer can handle sustained activity without splitting state or compromising finality.
At launch, fifteen protocols are deploying on Igra Network, spanning DeFi, wallets, and infrastructure services. This initial ecosystem rollout helps ensure immediate utility for users and developers while signaling strong confidence from early projects. In addition, Igra Network integrates cross-chain connectivity through Hyperlane, enabling seamless asset and message transfers between chains and expanding composability across the broader blockchain landscape.
Why this matters: by combining EVM compatibility with Kaspa’s proof-of-work BlockDAG, Igra Network offers developers familiar tooling and smart contract support alongside the benefits of Kaspa’s novel block structure. That means faster confirmation patterns, robust security assumptions, and the ability to interoperate with existing Ethereum-based tooling. Hyperlane support further boosts interoperability, making it straightforward to bridge assets and calls to and from other chains.
For developers evaluating execution layers, Igra Network presents an attractive option for building decentralized applications that require both EVM compatibility and the throughput advantages of a BlockDAG. For users, the launch brings more choices for decentralized finance, NFTs, and cross-chain services backed by a tested mainnet.
As public access begins, expect further protocol deployments and tooling integrations. Developers interested in building on Igra Network should explore the documentation and community channels to get started—this mainnet launch could reshape how teams view EVM-compatible execution on proof-of-work infrastructure.
