DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph). There is no concept of Blockchain in DAG, which is different from the common blockchain concept. It does not have the concept of Block, which does not exist. Instead, the node is packaged and broadcast for its own transactions.
The traditional blockchain is limited by its architecture, which has low throughput, slow transaction confirmation time, and the problem of node data expansion.

For example, in Ethernet, a whole network of events can lead to blockages, and a transaction can take hours to be confirmed.
CyberVein as a dealing with data block chain, the above this kind of defect is undoubtedly a huge impact, while the DAG has great improvement in these aspects, DAG theoretically there is no limit on transaction throughput.
Moreover, nodes stored in traditional block chain also have larger limit, unless under the condition of using light client nodes usually need to be synchronized cut in all trades, to use the intelligent functions such as contract, and node need to synchronize data are increasing rapidly, and even to reach dozens of GB hundreds of GB.
DAG also has advantages in storage. Users only need to maintain their own trading units and their parents, so they don’t need to have full network transaction data on a single node.
