The newly updated whitepaper provides a detailed overview of the algorithm. This protocol is designed to resist 50% attacks without relying on network latency assumptions. Therefore, it does not need a hardcoded parameter to assume network health and self-stabilizes as the network infrastructure improves or as latency conditions suffer. Were as traditional blockchains assume this parameter to avoid security risks and instability.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"abf abg abh abi xr abj pv pw paragraph-image\">\n<div class=\"abk abl ct abm ad abn\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"pv pw ahm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ad abo abp c\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/miro.medium.com\/max\/875\/1*7_p8zJxBniD_NBkBGUaQ1w.png?resize=700%2C214&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"214\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"88f1\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph zi zj ym ro b zk zl ug zm zn zo uj zp zq zr zs zt zu zv zw zx zy zz aba abb abc ol bx\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The new whitepaper version includes new figures to illustrate the protocol, making it easier to understand. In addition, it outlines how it functions and differs from PHANTOM GhostDAG and traditional blockchain protocols. Also provided are important related-work notes offering insights into the research and development behind the DAGKnight protocol. These notes provide valuable insights into the algorithm and its unique features.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f33e\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph zi zj ym ro b zk zl ug zm zn zo uj zp zq zr zs zt zu zv zw zx zy zz aba abb abc ol bx\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">One of the critical features of the DAGKnight protocol is its ability to adjust block confirmation times according to real-time network conditions. This makes it more efficient and secure than traditional blockchain protocols relying on network latency assumptions. Since DAGKnight performs according to latency and the protocol is high-speed while the network is healthy. When the network is slow, additional blocks are added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3a56\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph zi zj ym ro b zk zl ug zm zn zo uj zp zq zr zs zt zu zv zw zx zy zz aba abb abc ol bx\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The protocol achieves this through the use of k-clusters, groups of blocks sampled from the blockDAG. By evaluating k-clusters, the protocol can select a cluster with the most network delay that covers 50% of the network and adjust block confirmations to counter an attack.<\/p>\n<p id=\"c894\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph zi zj ym ro b zk zl ug zm zn zo uj zp zq zr zs zt zu zv zw zx zy zz aba abb abc ol bx\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">This makes DAGKnight more scalable than traditional blockchain protocols, with this k-cluster mechanism that groups blocks based on their level of connectivity. This allows for more efficient propagation of new blocks across the network, reducing the time required to add new blocks to the chain. DAGKnight will also be built on Rustlang; the rewrite from Golang will be pushing 32 blocks per second by the time of implementation with an ultimate goal of 100 BPS.<\/p>\n<p id=\"e367\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph zi zj ym ro b zk zl ug zm zn zo uj zp zq zr zs zt zu zv zw zx zy zz aba abb abc ol bx\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The DAGKnight will make Kaspa the\u00a0<strong class=\"ro mx\">first<\/strong>\u00a0proof-of-work cryptocurrency\u00a0<strong class=\"ro mx\">parameterless, scalable, self-stabilizing,\u00a0<\/strong><em class=\"abd\">and<\/em><strong class=\"ro mx\">\u00a0adaptive.\u00a0<\/strong>Furthermore, this upgrade to the current\u00a0<strong class=\"ro mx\">blockchain trilemma solution<\/strong>, GhostDAG, will be far more\u00a0<strong class=\"ro mx\">efficient<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong class=\"ro mx\">secure<\/strong>\u00a0than traditional blockchain protocols promising an exciting evolutionary step in blockchain technology.<\/p>\n<p id=\"c0e0\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph zi zj ym ro b zk zl ug zm zn zo uj zp zq zr zs zt zu zv zw zx zy zz aba abb abc ol bx\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The updated DAGKnight whitepaper provides a valuable resource for those interested in the research and development behind the protocol.
