How does Kaspa prove its genesis blocks were not backdated?

Kaspa's verification proof anchors itself to a known Bitcoin block as a real-world timestamp — the digital equivalent of holding up a newspaper with today's date in a photograph. Because that Bitcoin block already existed publicly before Kaspa's genesis was recorded, it is mathematically impossible for the genesis blocks to have been created earlier in secret. This commitment is part of the same open-source tool anyone can run to audit Kaspa's full chain history from the beginning. For a beginner, this matters because it directly counters the concern that a project could secretly pre-mine coins early and falsify the records — the Bitcoin block commitment makes that kind of manipulation detectable.
