What consensus metrics does Kaspa use to spot geographic mining concentration?

Kaspa tracks block submission patterns and tip hash distributions as part of its consensus metrics to detect geographic mining concentration. In a healthy proof-of-work network, miners should be spread across many regions — if too many blocks originate from the same area, that is a warning sign that power is centralizing. Kaspa's monitoring framework surfaces this data so node operators and the community can respond before concentration becomes entrenched. This matters because geographic mining concentration is one of the ways a blockchain can become vulnerable to outside pressure or coordinated attack.
