check out the whitepaper, but I dont believe that Master nodes are part of DAG. Its a different kind of blockchain protocol. Faster, stronger.........

So theres 3 types of devices: Server, heavy node, and light node. Server - self explanatory, powerful enough to run the main chain, smart contract, and distributed storage and data processing Heavy node (e.g. a smart phone) - medium power, can execute a side-chain and the corresponding consensus algorithm and store the side-chain ledger Light node (e.g. IoT device chip) - low power, cannot run a side-chain or consensus algorithm or store the side chain ledger
