How does Kaspa's multi-parent block structure enable higher throughput?

Kaspa achieves higher throughput because its multi-parent design allows blocks to be created in parallel rather than one at a time. In a single-chain blockchain, each new block must wait for the previous one to be settled before it can be added, which puts a hard ceiling on how many transactions the network can handle per second. Because a Kaspa block can reference multiple existing blocks as parents at the moment it is created, many miners can produce blocks concurrently and all of that work gets included in the BlockDAG. For a beginner, the takeaway is straightforward: more blocks produced in parallel means more transactions processed in the same amount of time.
