Mining pools testing Crescendo 📜
Some of the most influential mining pools that support Kaspa have tested their pools work with Crescendo, confirming they are able to mine blocks properly in TN11/TN10. It's important to perform such tests to ensure a smooth transition when Kaspa hard forks in late April. The image you see above shows the hashrate spread on mainnet, that represent roughly ~85% of mainnet hashrate.
