Can anyone independently verify Kaspa's chain integrity?

Yes — Shai Wyborski and Michael Sutton created a detailed step-by-step guide that lets any individual locally and cryptographically verify Kaspa's chain integrity. The guide is available in two formats: a Jupyter notebook for those comfortable running code interactively, or a PDF for those who prefer to read along. Cryptographic verification means checking the math of the blockchain directly on your own machine rather than trusting any authority's word. For a beginner, this matters because it means Kaspa's transaction history is independently auditable — you do not have to take anyone's word for it.
