How does Kaspa keep time across the network without a central clock?

Kaspa uses a metric called DAA Score to measure network time in a decentralized way that every node can agree on. In a traditional system, software might rely on a central server or trusted time source to know what time it is — but in a blockchain network spread across thousands of independent computers, no single clock can be trusted. DAA Score solves this by giving all nodes a shared, consensus-based reference for time that requires no outside coordination. For a beginner, this matters because it means Kaspa's network can stay in sync and make consistent decisions — like adjusting mining difficulty — without any single authority controlling the clock.
