How does Kaspa handle blocks created at the same time?

Kaspa's PHANTOM GHOSTDAG protocol lets blocks created in parallel coexist and be ordered by consensus, rather than discarding one as an orphan. In a traditional blockchain, when two miners produce valid blocks at the same moment, the network picks one and throws the other away — the discarded block is called an orphan, and the computing effort behind it is wasted. Kaspa's blockDAG structure avoids this entirely: all parallel blocks are kept and woven into a consistent order that every node agrees on. For a beginner, this is the core mechanical reason Kaspa can sustain a high block rate without the network constantly fighting itself — every block, and every miner's work, counts.
