What block rates does Kaspa currently support, and what is the long-term target?

Kaspa currently produces 1 block per second on its main network, with 10 blocks per second already running on testnet. For comparison, Bitcoin produces roughly one block every ten minutes, so even Kaspa's current rate is dramatically faster. Core developers and researchers are working toward a long-term ceiling of 100 blocks per second — a rate at which a miner holding just 1% of the total network hashrate would mine on average one block every second. Higher block rates matter for beginners because they translate directly into faster transaction inclusion and a more responsive experience.
