What does Kaspa's $8 million R&D investment mean for every block?

Every block Kaspa produces carries $8,000,000 worth of cutting-edge research and development built into its design. PolyChain's investment funded more than three years of focused work to research and build the technology from the ground up — meaning the protocol itself, not just one feature, is the output of that effort. For a beginner, this is a useful way to understand why Kaspa's blockDAG approach is a genuinely novel piece of engineering rather than a quick remix of an existing blockchain.
