How does Kaspa's blockDAG design reduce mining centralization pressure?
Kaspa's blockDAG structure reduces centralization pressure by tolerating the network latency that normally forces miners to cluster in the same geographic locations. In Bitcoin-style blockchains, latency between distant miners raises the chance that two valid blocks arrive at the network simultaneously — and one gets thrown away. To avoid this waste, miners are quietly incentivized to concentrate where internet connections are fastest, pushing the network toward geographic centralization. Kaspa's GHOSTDAG protocol breaks that incentive: by widening the acceptable anticone — the range of parallel blocks the protocol can order together — it absorbs geographic delays rather than punishing them. For a beginner, the practical takeaway is that Kaspa's design does not systematically favor miners who happen to share a data center over miners spread across the globe.
