Well, it's hard not to see DAG in Byteball design.

It's also seen in Ethereum design, any idea why they call themselves "chain", not "DAG"?


- GHOST protocol gives a similar topology of blocks and if we have only 1 transaction per block then there is no difference in first order approximation.
And what?  Of course, there are edge cases.  And I didn't invent DAG if you want me to admit that Smiley

- The whitepaper tells about ordering and the main chain.

And?

I just mentioned things which point toward "chain", not "DAG".


- There is no publicly available information on transactions topology in high TPS mode (this would show if Byteball utilizes high scalability granted by a DAG).

Any reasons to believe the topology will be in some way "wrong" in high TPS mode?


Yes. I suspect the ordering will slow everything down significantly. Is it hard to run a test?
