Insights from the 2nd Worldwide Workshop on DAG-based Distributed Ledgers
TL;DR:
The Past the Chain workshop on Could 31, 2024, at Trinity School Dublin explored how DAG know-how can overcome blockchain limitations. Shai Wyborski’s keynote emphasised DAG’s effectivity and scalability advantages over conventional blockchains. Shows coated matters like safe IoT information transmission, shared objects in Sui sensible contracts, identify administration utilizing IOTA, and a examine on DAG-based consensus protocols.
Fixing the restrictions of conventional blockchain with Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) know-how is the main target of Past the Chain: Workshop on DAG-based Distributed Ledger Applied sciences. That includes contributions by a number of IOTA Basis members, this 12 months’s version was held on Friday thirty first of Could, 2024 at Trinity School Dublin as a part of the IEEE Worldwide Convention on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, which ran from 27 Could 2024 to 31 Could 2024.
Regardless of going down on the final day of the IEEE Convention, our workshop attracted a very good crowd with surprisingly few indicators of convention fatigue! The session was kicked off with a keynote by Shai Wyborski (@DesheShai), a researcher at Kaspa, a PoW- and DAG-based distributed ledger know-how.Shai’s keynote was adopted by 4 displays based mostly on papers written for the convention: we’ll current the abstracts of those papers after a fast recap of Shai’s keynote.
From Blockchain to DAG
In his keynote, Shai highlighted the crucial have to transition from conventional blockchains to DAG buildings, addressing the inherent limitations of blockchains relating to effectivity and scalability. Blockchains endure from excessive orphan charges and diminished parallelism, undermining their efficiency.
Members at Past the Chain 2024
In DAG-based distributed ledgers – or “blockDAGs” –, every block can reference a number of earlier blocks, making a extra advanced however environment friendly DAG construction. Shai supplied an insightful overview of assorted blockDAG implementations like SPECTRE, Tangle, and GHOSTDAG. These techniques obtain scalable and safe consensus via topological sorting. He additionally explored the necessity for parameterless protocols like DAGKnight, which adapt dynamically to community circumstances with out predefined parameters, enhancing affirmation occasions and community efficiency.
Wanting forward, he emphasised the significance of making rational miner incentives to take care of protocol integrity, exploring new fashions for charge markets inside DAG buildings, and addressing scalability via modern consensus mechanisms.
The keynote concluded with a energetic dialogue between Shai and the viewers. The exchanges mirrored a shared perception that these developments might propel blockDAGs, and DLTs typically, to new heights.
Interactive Classes
Following the keynote, the convention featured 4 interactive periods that have been based mostly on analysis papers submitted to the workshop.
Safe Transmission of Immutable Information for Low-Energy, Lengthy-Vary Wi-fi IoT Companies
Within the first session, Andreas Baumgartner from Chemnitz College of Know-how mentioned his paper co-written together with his colleagues Nada Akkari, Sudip Barua, and Thomas Bauschert: “Safe Transmission of Immutable Information for low-power, long-range Wi-fi IoT Companies”. In accordance with the paper’s summary:

A Examine on Shared Objects in Sui Sensible Contracts
Shared objects – information buildings that a number of transactions or sensible contracts can entry and modify concurrently – have been the main target of the following presentation, by IOTA Basis’s Roman Overko. In accordance with the summary of his paper, “A Examine on Shared Objects in Sui Sensible Contracts”:
.” Roman’s paper is publicly out there right here.
Title Administration Utilizing IOTA
Teppei Okada from Ritsumeikan College, Japan, offered his paper written with Noriaki Kamiyama (additionally from Ritsumeikan College), “Title Administration Utilizing IOTA”. The paper’s summary states:

Systematization of Data: DAG-based Consensus Protocols
Lastly, Mayank Raikwar (College of Oslo) and the IOTA Basis’s Nikita Polyanskii and Sebastian Mueller supplied a complete overview of DAG-based consensus protocols. Their paper’s summary states:
