How do transaction inputs work in Kaspa?

In a Kaspa transaction, the coins you spend come from the outputs of earlier transactions — those prior outputs become the inputs of your new transaction. Think of it like a chain of receipts: every time someone receives KAS, that receipt can later be handed back in as proof of funds when they want to send KAS to someone else. This is how the network tracks ownership without a central ledger — each coin's history can be traced back through a chain of outputs and inputs. Understanding this matters because it means your wallet balance is not a single number in a database but a collection of unspent outputs that the network recognizes as yours.
