How does Kaspa activate the new features introduced in KIP-0010?

KIP-0010's new features switch on once the network crosses a specific DAA score threshold — not a fixed date or block number. Before that threshold, any new opcodes introduced by this KIP are treated as invalid and arithmetic operations stay capped at 4 bytes. Once the DAA score passes the activation point, all new opcodes become available and 8-byte arithmetic is enabled across the network. For a developer or user, this means the upgrade rolls out automatically as the network matures — you do not need to take any action to trigger it.
