Why does Kaspa send my change to a new address instead of the original one?
When Kaspa returns leftover funds after a transaction, it deposits that change into a freshly generated address rather than back into the address you sent from. This fresh address is called a change address, and Kaspa creates it automatically — you never need to set it up yourself. The reason is privacy: if change always flowed back to the same address, anyone watching the blockchain could easily connect multiple transactions to the same owner. By rotating to a new address each time, Kaspa makes it much harder to link your spending history together. For a beginner, the takeaway is that seeing an unfamiliar address receive funds after you send KAS is normal and expected — it is just your wallet quietly protecting your privacy.
