What is BlockDAG: better network scalability with directed acyclic graph

The BlockDAG distributed ledger has been turning heads with its novel approach to data processing and transaction management. Unlike many of today's leading chains, BlockDAG uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure, which allows multiple blocks to be added simultaneously. This change helps to solve problems like network congestion and transaction speed, while also providing a more scalable and efficient solution for decentralized networks.
