Hyperlane bridge is back!
All 10 asset routes are open again: iKAS, USDC, USDT, WETH, cbBTC, SOL, TIBBIR, USDS, USDe and wstETH.
nexus.hyperlane.xyz/
Igra’s Hyperlane routes have reopened after a pause that began on 20 September.
All routes now include an Igra-side check that screens outbound transfers against an on-chain registry of incident-linked addresses. Transfers from listed addresses are blocked on these routes.
This does not freeze token balances on Igra. Ordinary on-chain transfers remain unaffected.
The screening check was added by the route owners. Hyperlane’s role in the routes is otherwise unchanged.
Big thanks to the Hyperlane team for their responsiveness, hands-on help and support throughout.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Our priority throughout the response has been to restore access and get things moving again on Igra, with stronger safeguards.
For questions about a flagged transfer or an incorrect listing, contact team@igralabs.com.
Happy bridging!
Proposal #18 passed and is executed. 16.2M IGRA from the Ecosystem & Rewards pool now funds attester rewards, about 12 months at current stake.
The tokens were already minted, so there's no new supply.
Rewards missed since 1 Nov were credited retroactively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and to @Kaspa_KAT for proposing.
Happy to see K.A.T. took an initiative!
Proposal #18: restart attester IGRA rewards is live: governance.igralabs.com/prop…
Background
The first rewards budget, 7.5M IGRA from Proposal #4 in March, ran out on 1 November. Attesters kept attesting through the gap, but IGRA rewards stopped accruing.
This Proposal
Moves 16.2M IGRA from the DAO’s Ecosystem & Rewards pool to the rewards contract. These tokens were minted at launch, so supply doesn’t change, and the rate stays at 15% a year.
Attesters are paid for the missed days: once the new IGRA lands, the contract counts every block since 1 November and pays it out in one go, split by attester score like regular rewards. That’s about 298K IGRA if #18 executes as soon as voting closes, plus about 40.7K for each day after.
After that, rewards run as before, about 40.7K IGRA a day across all attesters, which covers a little over a year at today’s ~105M IGRA staked.
Action if passed:
Releases 16.2M IGRA from the Ecosystem & Rewards vesting pool (pool 0) to the StakeRewardsController. The emission rate is unchanged at 15%.
Who can vote on this proposal?
Attester stake counts as votes automatically. If you hold IGRA, delegate it before voting opens (to yourself is fine), or it won’t count for this vote. Voting opens today around 17:20 UTC and closes Sunday 8 November around 23:10 UTC.
Vote: FOR / AGAINST / ABSTAIN
Interesting take on stablecoins on Kaspa L1.
Braid has a bUSDT bridge on testnet: a KCC-20 token on Kaspa L1, backed by USDT locked in a vault on Igra.
How it works:
- Igra -> L1: users lock USDT on Igra, 2 of 3 signers sign, and an L1 covenant releases bUSDT. This direction relies on the signers, with caps and a pause.
- L1 -> Igra: users send bUSDT back on L1, anyone submits a proof, and the Igra vault checks it against the Kaspa commitment that every Igra block carries (a hash chained from block to block, per KIP-21). No signers involved.
The mint side's security can be improved by Igra's slashable attesters signing a root of Igra's bridge messages on Kaspa L1.
Keep in mind it's testnet only and not independently audited. Braid runs it independently.
bUSDT is live on Kaspa testnet 🫶
Bridge USDT from Igra to Kaspa L1 and back, then swap bUSDT ↔ kaspa:native on Braid.

We filed @Igra_Labs DAO Proposal #18 to restart attester rewards.
The on-chain description is too terse. Here is the plain version:
Rewards stopped because the 7.5M IGRA budget was fully used, not because the 15% rate changed. This proposal moves 16.2M already-minted IGRA from VestingPools pool 0 into the rewards contract. It does not mint new IGRA. The rate stays 15%. That covers about a year at the current stake, plus the rewards missed since the budget ran out.
Voting opens Wednesday, Nov 4 ~ 11:40am ET and closes Sunday, Nov 8 ~ 11:40am ET. Please vote yes so attester rewards flow again.

Dear Attesters, quick update re IGRA rewards.
Attester rewards paused around the end of October. Nothing is broken, reward contract worked as designed and paid out the full 7.5M IGRA budget the DAO approved in March. Staking grew fast, to about 105M IGRA today, so the budget ran out sooner than expected.
The Ecosystem & Rewards pool has plenty of room to restart rewards and cover the missed days. That takes a DAO proposal.
Gentle reminder: any delegate with 400k IGRA can submit one. If no one does by Thursday, 5 November, the Association will put one forward.
Igra dev update, October 16-23
- Kaspa 2.1: testing and monitoring on the Galleon testnet nodes before a wider rollout.
- Reth 2.7: the next execution client upgrade is in progress. Mainnet is running 2.5.1.
- Security: Blockscout and Igra Safe upgraded with patches for recently disclosed CVEs, plus ongoing hardening across all Igra Labs servers.
Proposal #17 passed and executed! Thanks to everyone who voted. We’re happy to welcome @kdoggo1181074 as the Incident Registry maintainer for the three month pilot.
Proposal #17: Igra Incident Registry and Analyst Pilot is live: governance.igralabs.com/prop…
Background
The 20 September incident involving an off-chain KRC-20 indexer showed the ecosystem needs a structured response. Until now, incident-linked addresses were tracked through manual review and an ad hoc list in the explorer.
This proposal
Transfers governance of the on-chain Incident Registry to the Igra DAO and commissions independent analyst @kdoggo1181074 to maintain it for a 3 month pilot, funded by a 500,000 IGRA grant that vests linearly over the pilot.
K.A.T. Foundation was appointed as a backup Listing admin and Release authority.
The Registry holds no funds and cannot move or freeze assets; its effect depends on which services consult it. Anyone may appeal a listing on the Igra Discord, Telegram or email team@igralabs.com.
Action if passed:
- The DAO accepts ownership and governorship of the Registry (0x72fcA5313745442dfA3670EaDd5bB28dbB2321fC)
- Appoints the analyst’s registry wallet as Listing admin and nominates it as Release authority
- Releases 500,000 IGRA from VestingPools as a grant.
Who can vote on this proposal?
Any IGRA holder. Voting is open.
With questions or comments, please reach out in DM, on Telegram t.me/IgraCommunity and Discord discord.gg/invite/igralabs or email team@igralabs.com.
Six days since bridging reopened on 12 Oct vs the six days before:

Dear Igra Node Operators! Time to upgrade.
We moved our Igra mainnet node from reth 1.9.3 to 2.5.1 with reth data went 1TB -> 30GB and growth dropped from 150 GB/month to 4 GB.
Old layout kept unused trie changesets for deep-reorg recovery, these were replaced with an in-engine cache, no history is lost.
Keep in mind before you start:
- It's a full resync, can take around 36h
- kaspad data is kept
- Remove only the reth volume, never `down -v`.
- Attesters: point `RPC_URL` at `rpc.igralabs.com:8545` while your node resyncs.
Runbook: igralabs.github.io/igra-orch…
Please reach out in DM or to @argonmining for assistance.
Turns out the full node can travel light: same full verification and 97% less storage.
We previously said substantially lower storage would require a separate light node with different security assumptions.
Well, we got one thing wrong.
Our upcoming upgrade delivers that reduction to the full nodes, with full transaction verification stays intact.
Igra node storage: 1TB -> 30GB.
Storage growth: 150GB -> 4GB per month at current activity.
Running a node and verifying Igra yourself is now practical for far more people.
Node operators and attesters: details and documentation coming shortly.
