Improving the scalability of blockchain through DAG

Abstract

Current blockchain systems face the problems of poor scalability, low performance, and high cost. To address the previous bottlenecks, we plan to employ the DAG-based structure as the primary method and propose a concrete model, called 3D-DAG, to improve the scalability. The model consists of two layers: mainchain and sidechain, which separately severs for maintaining the pivot sequence and improving the parallelism. Our expecting results should significantly improve the performance and scalability without compromising the security.
