How does Kaspa turn miner self-interest into network security?

Kaspa is designed so that the individually profitable choice for a miner and the choice that keeps the network healthy are the same choice. In some blockchain designs, a miner controlling a large share of computing power can have a financial reason to cheat — for example by withholding blocks or attempting to rewrite history. Kaspa's incentive alignment is structured so that what might otherwise drive selfish behavior instead becomes the mechanism that keeps the network functioning correctly. For a beginner, this is important because it means the network's security does not depend on trusting that miners are honest — the economics steer them toward honest behavior automatically.
