How quickly does Kaspa distribute new blocks within and across regions?
Within a geographic cluster — nodes all in North America, Europe, or Asia — Kaspa achieves near-instantaneous block distribution at roughly 50 milliseconds. When a block must travel between clusters (say, from a North American node to an Asian one), the delay is longer, around 200–300 milliseconds, which the protocol manages through strategic relay decisions. For a beginner, the practical takeaway is that no matter where in the world a node is running, the Kaspa network is engineered to propagate blocks quickly, which is a key ingredient in supporting the network's high block rate.
