Why does Kaspa's compounding transactions proposal help exchanges and pools?
Exchanges and pools benefit because a patch already deployed on Kaspa was sharply limiting how many transactions they could push through during busy periods. Storage mass is Kaspa's way of measuring the "weight" a transaction places on the network; high storage mass means fewer transactions get through under load. Neither exchanges nor pools typically deal in tiny micropayments, yet the existing patch treated them as if they did, throttling their throughput. This proposal gives those high-volume participants a path to operate at full speed again. For anyone using an exchange or waiting on a pool payout, that means more reliable transaction processing even when the Kaspa network is congested.
