CIDDS

Abstract

Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) such as IOTA Tangle has been proposed to address the inefficiencies of traditional blockchains, including the issues with scalability, high resource consumptions, and the increasing transaction fees. Despite the promising features introduced by IOTA, the properties of DAG-based distributed ledgers are not yet comprehensively studied. In this work, we propose CIDDS, a configurable and interactive DAG-based DLT simulation framework. CIDDS enables the user to perform large-scale simulations with thousands of nodes and to investigate different characteristics of the network under controlled conditions.
