DAG-Based Cryptocurrencies

Architecture

Directed Acyclic Graph-based cryptocurrencies utilize a non-linear ledger structure where individual transactions reference multiple preceding entries rather than aggregating them into discrete blocks. This topological design enables parallel transaction processing, significantly reducing the bottleneck constraints typical of traditional sequential chain architectures. By replacing the linear mining process with interconnected node verifications, the framework inherently supports higher throughput and lower latency for decentralized financial applications.
