Why does low regional latency matter for Kaspa's block propagation?

Kaspa achieves high throughput within each geographic region because nodes inside the same region can reach each other in roughly 50 milliseconds — fast enough to spread a new block before the next one is mined. When a miner finds a block, every other node in that regional cluster needs to receive it quickly; if propagation is too slow, two miners produce conflicting blocks simultaneously and work gets wasted. Kaspa's protocol builds on a NA/EU/Asia regional model where this ~50ms internal latency enables rapid block propagation and transaction confirmation at 10 blocks per second. For a beginner, the takeaway is that geography shapes how blockchains work, and Kaspa was engineered to make that geography an advantage rather than a bottleneck.
