Why do well-connected Kaspa nodes earn better block inclusion odds?

In Kaspa, nodes that maintain more connections across the network are rewarded with higher probabilities that their blocks will be included in the consensus. Kaspa's design deliberately creates a concrete economic incentive for nodes to build and maintain cross-cluster links — that is, connections that bridge different geographic regions rather than only talking to nearby peers. Because block inclusion probability goes up with better connectivity, operators have a built-in reason to invest in high-quality, wide-reaching connections rather than settling for the minimum. For a beginner, this matters because it means the network pushes itself toward good global connectivity automatically — no central authority has to enforce it.
