Chefs List 2.0
THE KASPA L1 PREP TABLE
The old leaderboard is off the menu while the criteria are rebuilt. The new Chefs List will favor verifiable native-Kaspa work over noise, paid placement, or popularity theater.
Research mode is active. No numeric rankings are being published until sources, review dates, scoring rules, and correction paths are visible to everyone.
THE BOARD, BEFORE THE SCORES
These are coverage lanes, not endorsements. Every future project card should show sources, last-reviewed date, network layer, custody model, and audit status.
Queue forming
Kaspa wallets
Wallets will be evaluated for transparent ownership, mainnet compatibility, signing UX, recovery guidance, update discipline, and KRON support.
Research planned
Developer infrastructure
Nodes, indexers, explorers, SDKs, covenant tooling, and APIs that help builders ship reliable native Kaspa experiences.
Community input
Culture and utility
Projects that create real reasons to participate—games, payments, media, education, creator tools, and community infrastructure.
WHAT EARNS A PLACE IN THE KITCHEN
The final weights are still being designed, but the underlying questions are already clear.
Native fit
What genuinely uses Kaspa, which layer does it run on, and what would stop working without the network?
Security posture
Who controls keys and upgrades? Are source, audits, incidents, risks, and recovery paths disclosed plainly?
Product reality
Is there a working product, recent development, measurable usage, responsive support, and an honest roadmap?
Community value
Does the project help people build, transact, learn, create, or coordinate without relying on price promises?
Kitchen rules
NO PAY-TO-RANK SHORTCUTS
KOOK may create community features later, but token ownership should never silently purchase a higher research score.
- Every factual project claim gets a dated source.
- Protocol facts stay separate from marketing claims and opinions.
- Security and audit gaps appear beside the benefits, not in fine print.
- Projects receive a correction path when a fact is wrong or stale.
- Sponsored placement, if ever used, is labeled and never changes scoring.
