What is the difference between block time and confirmation time for Kaspa?

Block time and confirmation time are different things, and confusing them is a common source of misunderstanding about Kaspa's speed. Block time is how long it takes for a transaction to become visible to the network — for Kaspa, that is one block, which happens in about 100ms. Confirmation time is how long before the transaction is considered final with very high statistical certainty; Kaspa reaches strong probabilistic finality within seconds, not minutes. Knowing this distinction matters because it helps you understand what you are actually waiting for when you send KAS — the network itself settles almost instantly.
