Introduction to DAGs and Their Potential For years, blockchain technology has dominated discussions around distributed ledger systems, but it is not without limitations—chiefly scalability and transaction speeds. Enter Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), an emerging alternative designed to solve these issues while maintaining decentralization and security. Unlike traditional blockchains, DAGs structure transactions in a graph format, enabling asynchronous processing and higher throughput. This article explores how DAGs work, their advantages over blockchains, and real-world applications that demonstrate their potential.
