Built on Kaspa's successes with the GhostDAG protocol, BlockDAG introduces a hybrid system offering broader possibilities in the blockchain space.
From Kaspa to BlockDAG: Shared Roots, Different Goals
Both Kaspa and BlockDAG utilize the GhostDAG consensus protocol, allowing parallel block creation without forks. Kaspa demonstrated this model's viability, but BlockDAG has taken it further by supporting full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, while retaining GhostDAG's advantages.
Hybrid DAG + PoW: A New Era for BlockDAG
BlockDAG implements a hybrid consensus model combining GhostDAG with an improved Proof-of-Work system, ensuring high speed and trustless security. This innovation enables thousands of transactions per second, reduces energy consumption, and enhances user experience.
How BlockDAG Outshines Kaspa
BlockDAG has significantly expanded its user base and infrastructure: $208 million in investments, 800,000 users mining BDAG, and active infrastructure development, including developer support through educational programs and hackathons.
BlockDAG builds on Kaspa's groundwork to offer a new level of scalable blockchains, ready for real-world application.
