Brief description: The project is an open-source cryptocurrency based on Litecoin Core, where the Scrypt algorithm has been replaced with RandomX v2. The coin has no premine (genesis coinbase cannot be spent), and supports SegWit, Taproot, and MWEB.
Where to mine/pool: Official pool (1.22 Mh/s), Rplant (0.33 Mh/s) and solo miners.
Wallet/links: Kadikama Qt and Kadik wallets are available for Windows, Linux and macOS; there is a website, source code, explorer and Discord.
Community reaction: Users note the interesting combination of a Litecoin base and RandomX algorithm, as well as the lack of a premine. A question was raised about hash‑rate distribution and MWEB implementation details.

2026-08-13 15:37 UTC — 1 new post
Main topic of new messages: Announcement of Kadikama Core 1.0.2 update and activation of the soft fork KADDEX to improve exchange settlement mechanisms.
Key news/updates:
Activation of KADDEX: Implementation of a protocol for secure exchange settlements using atomic swap mechanisms and protected outputs (vault outputs). This will allow users to store assets without handing over keys to exchange servers.
Technical details: Activation will occur at block 16,000. The update is a soft fork and does not affect existing balances.
Required actions: Miners, pools, and node operators need to upgrade to version 1.0.2 before the specified block is reached. Wallet users are also advised to install the new version to use KADDEX features.
Trading: Activation of the protocol does not mean immediate start of trading; the exchange interface will be launched separately after verification.
