How does geographic connectivity affect a Kaspa node?

A Kaspa node that is well-connected across geographic clusters receives and processes blocks more quickly — and that speed directly affects its standing in the consensus. Because Kaspa's consensus tracks which blocks make it into the DAG's blue set, nodes that see new blocks faster have a better chance of having their own blocks incorporated into the consensus chain. Nodes with peers spread across many regions are positioned to receive blocks earlier than geographically isolated ones. For anyone considering running a Kaspa node, this means geographic diversity in your peer connections is not just good network citizenship — it is directly tied to how effectively your node participates in the network.
