Could an attacker exploit Kaspa's block reward rules to print extra KAS?
Deliberately triggering edge cases in the block reward rules to create excess emission is considered highly impractical. While the rules contain rare edge cases where a block might be rewarded under the proposed policy but not the current one, producing those scenarios on purpose requires controlling a large fraction of the entire network's hashrate. Even if an attacker invested that enormous amount of computing power, the protocol gives no guarantee that any extra emission produced would actually be paid to them — the effort could simply be wasted. This matters for beginners because it means the KAS supply schedule is protected not just by rules, but by the economic cost of breaking them.
