What is BlockDAG?

(Source:@blockdagnetwork)

BlockDAG is a new hybrid architecture that combines the secure consensus mechanism of traditional blockchain with the high parallel processing capability of DAG, addressing the scalability limitations of current blockchain. Traditional blockchain adopts a linear linking method, where a single chain cannot simultaneously confirm multiple transactions, while DAG structure allows transactions to be synchronously verified in a non-linear manner, significantly improving network throughput.

The core innovation of BlockDAG lies in ensuring transaction security through a consensus similar to blockchain, while leveraging the parallel processing advantage of DAG to achieve higher TPS (transactions per second), thus improving transaction speed and reducing the risk of network congestion.

Beta Testnet: A technical milestone of 800 TPS

In the recent 7th AMA, the BlockDAG team announced the amazing results of the Beta test network: Through 34 active nodes (half of which are operated by community members), they achieved 800 transactions per second under real network pressure. Compared to Ethereum’s 15 TPS, BlockDAG’s processing performance has demonstrated enormous potential for the future. Importantly, this is not just a theoretical best-case scenario, but actual data after multiple stress tests. The BlockDAG technical team aims to achieve 2000 TPS at mainnet launch, and expand to 15000 TPS in the future, based on accumulated technology and real testing, this is a feasible roadmap.

Community participation helps optimize technology

During the Beta test network, BlockDAG emphasizes community participation, open node operation to community members, allowing the network to be tested under more realistic conditions. For example, the memory overflow issue discovered during testing quickly emerged due to the diverse operation of community nodes, and was promptly corrected, demonstrating the advantage of community-driven development.

BlockDAG mainnet roadmap

The mainnet plan of BlockDAG aims to achieve 2000 TPS and continuously expand to 15000 TPS. This is not just talk, but based on actual test data and a clear technical roadmap. In the future, it will also introduce DeFi, staking systems, cross-chain bridging, and decentralized governance mechanisms to further enhance the network’s ecosystem vitality. BlockDAG is actively developing real-time blockchain browsers, simple token and NFT creation tools, and smart contract deployment platforms. These infrastructure will make it easier for developers to enter the ecosystem and accelerate application landing.

Enhanced security audit: Double protection from CertiK and Halborn

In terms of security, BlockDAG has completed independent audits of CertiK and Halborn, and successfully resolved all major security issues, BlockDAG has also joined CertiK Skynet’s continuous monitoring to ensure the stability and security of network operation, and in the future, the team will also launch the Bug Bounty program to attract white hat hackers to participate in testing and proactively look for potential vulnerabilities. These initiatives show that BlockDAG places a high priority on security and has earned the trust of the market.

Summary

In the era of rapid development of decentralized network technology, BlockDAG is rewriting the future of L1 blockchain through technological innovation and steady development pace, from the test score of 800 TPS to a clear scaling roadmap. BlockDAG not only demonstrates technical strength but also shows the determination to move forward steadily. With the imminent deployment of the mainnet, BlockDAG will undoubtedly occupy a place in the future blockchain market, becoming an efficient, stable, and decentralized new benchmark.
