How does Kaspa's peer network form geographic clusters on its own?
Kaspa's peer-to-peer network naturally organizes itself into regional groups based on connection speed, without any central coordinator directing it. Nodes gravitate toward nearby peers because low-latency connections — fast links with minimal delay — work better for passing blocks around quickly. This causes nodes in the same geographic area to cluster together organically. At the same time, the network doesn't become fragmented: cross-cluster connections between different regional groups are encouraged by incentives that reward well-connected nodes, keeping the whole network cohesive. For a beginner, the key point is that Kaspa's topology is self-organizing — speed and incentives shape it, not a committee.
