How does Kaspa's protocol handle block propagation delays between world regions?
Kaspa's consensus parameters are specifically designed to accommodate the predictable 200–300ms delays that occur when blocks travel between geographic regions. When a miner creates a new block, that block must spread across the entire global network — and physics means cross-continental trips take longer than local ones. Rather than treating that delay as a problem to hide, Kaspa's protocol treats it as a known, manageable factor: inter-region propagation consistently falls in the 200–300ms range, and the consensus rules are tuned around that reality. For a beginner, this means Kaspa was engineered to stay reliable even with miners and nodes spread across every continent, rather than requiring geographic clustering to work correctly.
