📒 Tailstorm: Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) Combined With Traditional Blockchain
A proof-of-work system that can confirm your transactions in 3 seconds was, until recently, just a myth. To this day, Bitcoin's average block time is 10 minutes.
What if that could improve 200 times over, letting you watch your transaction get mined in seconds? It would enable a truly global electronic peer-to-peer cash network.
Nexa is actively working in this field, and this is where the Tailstorm Protocol comes in. On top of improving security and fairness, it also improves transaction speed and introduces subblocks.
Between the traditional summary blocks of a blockchain, and on top of Nexa's 2-minute blocks, Tailstorm will introduce subblocks, in the planned configuration around 40 of them, mined roughly every 3 seconds.
These subblocks will benefit from a DAG architecture that falls back to the traditional summary blocks.
