ELIB, Explain Like I’m Boss, is a collection of executive summaries for Web 3 technologies and projects.


This ELIB lists the unique advantages of features commonly seen in Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Blockchain structures:

DAG

Individual Transaction Based

  • Faster Finality
  • Easier State Trimming
  • Enables Parallel Transactions

Leaderless Transaction Sequencing

  • Fairer Sequencing

Full Set Validator Voting

  • Better Collusion Resistance

PoS Blockchain

Batched Transaction Based

  • More reliable Transaction Interoperability

Fixed Set Validator Voting

  • Enables Individual Accountability → better Network Uptime


Note that mirrored disadvantages and mutual features/advantages across DAG and PoS Blockchain are intentionally omitted for conciseness.
