How fast does Kaspa produce new blocks?

Kaspa produces 10 blocks per second, meaning a new block is added to the network every 100 milliseconds. The block rate — represented by the symbol λ (lambda) — measures how frequently the network adds new blocks. At 10 per second, Kaspa creates blocks far more rapidly than traditional proof-of-work chains, but that speed comes with a trade-off: because blocks are created so quickly across a geographically spread-out network, many blocks can be produced before the network has a chance to share them, creating what GHOSTDAG calls anticones — blocks that exist side-by-side without a clear ordering relationship. Understanding Kaspa's block rate is the first step to seeing why it can handle more transactions per second than older blockchains without abandoning proof-of-work security.
