How many lane updates per second does KIP21 allow on Kaspa?

At Kaspa's 10-blocks-per-second rate, KIP21's 50-lane-per-block limit translates to up to 500 lane updates per second across the network. A "lane" in KIP21 is a named channel of activity — think of it as a separate queue for a distinct type of transaction, each with its own gas budget. Because Kaspa produces 10 blocks every second and each block may carry at most 50 non-coinbase lanes, the math produces 500 possible lane updates per second by default. This is a bound on lane-level activity, not a ceiling on total transactions, since each lane can carry many transactions within its gas allowance. Knowing this figure helps developers and projects building on Kaspa understand the protocol's baseline capacity for parallel lane activity.
