How does Kaspa's block rate affect when mining rewards reach zero?

If Kaspa's block rate increases beyond 1 block per second, the date when mining rewards reach zero arrives sooner — by a calculable number of years. The baseline estimate assumes a rate of 1 BPS (block per second). For every doubling of that rate, the zero-reward date moves earlier by one year, because the formula subtracts log₂ of the new BPS from the original timeline. For example, at 32 BPS the zero-reward date shifts from 36 years to 31 years after mainnet launch. For a beginner, this means the block rate is not just a speed setting — it directly shapes how long miners receive new KAS as a reward for securing the network.
