How does Kaspa's KIP-13 propose handling transient storage consumption?
KIP-13 proposes tracking the transient storage a transaction consumes as a form of 'mass,' and bounding that mass to a reasonable size for node operators. In Kaspa, 'mass' is the term for resource costs that limit transaction throughput — so giving transient storage its own mass measurement lets the network cap how much temporary storage any single transaction can claim. Node operators are the computers that run Kaspa's network; keeping transient storage bounded protects them from being overwhelmed by unusually resource-hungry transactions. This matters for beginners because it shows how Kaspa actively protects network participants through explicit, measurable resource limits rather than leaving node operators to absorb unlimited costs.
