Zelcore 8.30.0 brings full mainnet support for Igra L2 — an EVM-compatible Layer 2 built on Kaspa — including a native in-app bridge from KAS to iKAS and direct access to the Zealous Auctions Protocol fair-launch DEX. For Kaspa holders, this release opens a path from L1 asset custody into the emerging Igra ecosystem without leaving the wallet.

- Dependency updates across WalletConnect, Polkadot, Stellar, Solana, Cardano, Alephium, and more
Igra L2 Mainnet
Igra L2 is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain built on top of Kaspa, identified by chain ID 38833. With this release, Zelcore provides full custody support for the network's two native assets: iKAS, the bridged coin used for gas and transfers on Igra L2, and IGRA, the network's governance token.
Practically, this means Kaspa users can now receive, hold, and send iKAS and IGRA inside the same wallet they already use for KAS — no separate app or extension required. Both assets appear as first-class coins with send/receive flows and address management. WalletConnect support is included, so any Igra dApp that surfaces a WalletConnect pairing QR code can be connected directly from Zelcore.
The release also adds a news feed sourced from Igra Labs official channels, surfaced within the app alongside the Igra coin screens. This keeps users close to protocol announcements without requiring them to track external sources separately.
The strategic context matters here. Supporting Igra mainnet at launch — rather than as an afterthought — positions Zelcore users to participate in the Igra ecosystem from day one, while maintaining the self-custodial model that defines the wallet.
Igra Bridge
The Igra Bridge is a dedicated in-app dialog for moving KAS from Kaspa L1 to iKAS on Igra L2. It is accessible from both the Kaspa coin screen and the Igra coin screen, so the entry point is always one tap away regardless of which asset a user is looking at.
The bridge UI shows live balances for both the source KAS wallet and the destination Igra L2 address, alongside a fiat-denominated estimate of the amount being bridged. The minimum bridge amount is 10 KAS. There are no additional parameters to configure — the design prioritizes a single confirmation flow over a configurable one.
This matters because bridging between L1 and L2 assets has historically required navigating standalone web interfaces, connecting a browser extension wallet, and manually tracking the transaction across two explorers. Doing it inside Zelcore collapses that to a single approval within the wallet's existing security model. Users do not expose their keys to a third-party interface, and the transaction history is visible in the same place as their other Zelcore activity.
For Kaspa holders who want exposure to Igra L2 activity — whether for governance participation via IGRA or for using Igra dApps — the bridge is the necessary first step, and this release makes it self-contained.
ZAP Auction Portal and smaller updates
Zelcore 8.30.0 also surfaces direct access to ZAP, the Zealous Auctions Protocol, a fair-launch DEX built on Igra L2. Users connect to ZAP via WalletConnect from the Igra coin screen inside Zelcore. Every transaction initiated through the portal requires explicit approval inside the wallet.
Fair-launch auction platforms differ from traditional DEXs in that token distributions happen through structured bidding rather than liquidity pools seeded by insiders. Having WalletConnect-based access built in from the Igra mainnet launch day means Zelcore users can participate in ZAP auctions with the same custody guarantees they have for any other Zelcore transaction.
On the maintenance side, this release updated a broad set of core dependencies: electron-builder, WalletConnect, Polkadot, Stellar, Solana, Cardano, Alephium, and other libraries. These are not user-facing feature additions, but keeping dependency versions current reduces exposure to known vulnerabilities and compatibility issues as each ecosystem evolves. Two user-facing fixes also shipped: CSV export was corrected for Stellar and Solana transaction histories. The Igra Testnet network was renamed to "Kaspa (Igra Testnet)" with distinct branding to prevent confusion now that the mainnet counterpart exists alongside it.
