How does Kaspa plan to keep mining profitable as block rewards decline?

Transaction fees—with the option to raise them if needed—are described as the primary mechanism for sustaining miner income as Kaspa's block reward decreases. The paragraph states that 'the volume of fees and new fee streams are anticipated to be sufficient to support profitable mining.' If that proves insufficient, 'network fees could be increased,' and 'various other options are available to support mining' as additional backstops. The reduced emission schedule is also presented as a stabilizing force: by 'vastly increasing the scarcity of newly-mined Kaspa within this decade,' it is expected to reduce the amount of newly-minted coins entering the market, which the paragraph argues may limit the need for emergency measures. For a beginner, this means Kaspa's design anticipates the block-reward decline and includes multiple fee-based levers intended to keep mining economically viable long-term.
