Kaspa L2 Onboarding Tutorial — put on your chef's hat and get cooking.

Before You Start

This quick onboarding assumes you're bringing KAS from Kaspa L1 → Kasplex L2. You'll need:

  • Check
    MetaMask (or an EVM-compatible wallet) for Kasplex L2 (adding network, adding $KOOK, swapping).
  • Check
    Kasware for Kaspa L1 (the official bridge uses Kasware for the L1 side).
  • Check
    Desktop Chrome/Brave recommended. Mobile may not inject both wallets.
  • Heads-up
    Have some KAS on L1 in Kasware to bridge. Bridge time is typically ~1 minute.

When all checks are green, this panel hides and the 3-step Fast Onboarding unlocks.
