What is DAGKnight (KIP-2) and what does it change?

DAGKnight (KIP-2) is a Kaspa consensus upgrade that makes confirmation times adaptive rather than fixed. Traditional blockchain protocols use hard-coded timing parameters — the network behaves the same regardless of how much mining power is online at any moment. DAGKnight instead reads real network conditions and adjusts automatically, so the protocol always extracts the maximum possible security from whatever mining power currently exists. For a beginner, this means Kaspa's confirmation speed is not a rigid setting someone chose years ago — it flexes to stay as secure and efficient as the network's current state allows.
