How can I verify Kaspa's genesis block is empty?

Kaspa's empty genesis is publicly verifiable because the source code is open and hosted at github.com/kaspanet/rusty-kaspa. The genesis block — the very first block in the Kaspa blockchain — started with an empty UTXO set, which is the ledger entry that records who owns what coins. An empty UTXO set at genesis is the on-chain proof that no coins were pre-allocated to anyone before public mining began. For a beginner, this means the "no pre-mine" claim is not just a promise: anyone willing to read the code or inspect the chain can confirm it for themselves.
