  DAG-based protocols have been proposed as potential solutions to the latency
and throughput limitations of traditional permissionless consensus protocols.
However, their adoption has been hindered by security concerns and a lack of a
solid foundation to guarantee improvements in both throughput and latency. In
this paper, we present a construction that rigorously demonstrates how
DAG-based protocols can achieve superior throughput and latency compared to
chain-based consensus protocols, all while maintaining the same level of
security guarantees.
