DAG-Sword: A Simulator of Large-Scale Network Topologies for DAG-Oriented Proof-of-Work Blockchains. (arXiv:2311.04638v1 [cs.CR])

The blockchain brought interesting properties for many practical
applications. However, some properties, such as the transaction processing
throughput remained limited, especially in Proof-of-Work blockchains.
Therefore, several promising directions, such as sharding designs and DAG-based
protocols emerged. In this paper, we focus on DAG-based consensus protocols and
present a discrete-event simulator for them. Our simulator can simulate
realistic blockchain networks created from data of a Bitcoin network, while its
network configuration and topology can be customized. The simulated network
consists of …
