Research The research objectives of this journal include proposing a compacted Directed
Objectives Acyclic Graph (CoDAG) based blockchain protocol to improve the throughput and
performance of blockchain. The specific objectives include designing a
compacted DAG structure, addressing the confirmation time problem in previous
DAG-based schemes, and demonstrating the security of CoDAG against specific
attacks
Research The research subjects of this journal include the design and implementation of a
Subject compacted Directed Acyclic Graph (CoDAG) structure for blockchain protocols
and improvement of the linear structure of traditional blockchain protocols using
the CoDAG structure, as well as the development of algorithms and protocols to
place new-generated blocks appropriately within the CoDAG. Additionally, the
journal addresses for the security and robustness of CoDAG against possible
attack strategies.
Research The research methods used in this journal include the design and
Methods implementation of a compacted Directed Acyclic Graph (CoDAG) structure for
blockchain protocols. Additionally, the journal presents experimental results
demonstrating the improved throughput and performance of CoDAG compared
to traditional blockchain protocols
Research The research results of this journal include the proposal and implementation of a
Result compacted Directed Acyclic Graph (CoDAG) based blockchain protocol, which
improves the throughput and performance of blockchain. The protocol addresses
the confirmation time problem and demonstrates security against specific
attacks. Experimental results show that CoDAG achieves a high throughput of
394 transactions per second, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum by 56 times of
Bitcoin’s throughput and 26 times of Ethereum’s.
Research The strength of the research presented in this journal lies in the proposal and
Strength implementation of the compacted Directed Acyclic Graph (CoDAG) based
blockchain protocol. This innovative approach offers a promising solution to the
limitations of traditional blockchain platforms and provides a more efficient and
secure protocol for practical use.
Research The research weaknesses of this journal include the lack of detailed discussion
Weakness on the potential limitations or challenges in the implementation of the CoDAG
protocol. Furthermore, the paper does not thoroughly explore the potential
trade-offs or drawbacks of the CoDAG structure in comparison to traditional
 blockchain protocols, which could provide a more comprehensive understanding
of its applicability and limitations in practical use.
Conlusions The conclusion of this journal is that the proposed compacted Directed Acyclic
Graph (CoDAG) based blockchain protocol significantly improves the throughput
and performance of blockchain. The CoDAG structure addresses the confirmation
time problem, demonstrates security against specific attacks, and achieves a high
throughput of 394 transactions per second, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum
by 56 times of Bitcoin’s throughput and 26 times of Ethereum’s. The paper also
suggests future work involving parameter tuning and hybrid consensus to further
enhance throughput.
