Background: DAG — directed acyclic graph topology
NetDAG proposes a resilient Web3 economy based on a high-throughput DAG ledger, an adaptive bonding-curve market model, and an AI stability layer (the Guardian). Together these form a system that is fast, predictable, and transparently governed. This paper outlines the architecture, economics, and governance.
Crypto adoption accelerates when networks are useful, stable, and human-aligned. NetDAG’s mission is to shift value from speculation to service: private connectivity (dVPN), on-chain authenticity (Provenance), and a predictable economy (Bonding Curve + Guardian).
A directed acyclic graph allows concurrent validation and near-instant finality under load. Nodes confirm multiple tips per event, increasing throughput as participation grows. The design targets micropayments and low-latency dApps.
Price is a function of supply; buys mint along the curve and lock reserve backing; sells burn along the same curve, providing continuous, predictable liquidity. Parameters (slope, reserve ratio) are observable and adjustable via governance.
P(S) = a·S + b
Mint cost equals the area under the curve; part of the payment remains locked, backing NDG from genesis.
A hybrid AI system monitors on-chain telemetry and proposes parameter updates (e.g., slope, fee split, reserve ratio). Recommendations are executed only after multisig/DAO approval, pairing predictive analytics with community oversight.
A peer-to-peer privacy network with on-chain payments and reputation. Users pay per minute/GB; nodes earn NDG; the Guardian optimizes routing and detects anomalies. The bonding curve stabilizes pricing through volatility.
Producers register batches; proofs are immutably recorded; consumers scan to verify. Each scan contributes to the liquidity engine and charity pool, creating a positive-sum loop between commerce and social impact.
Maximum supply: 1,000,000,000 NDG. Presale price from $0.03. Allocations include bonding-curve reserve, ecosystem incentives, team (with vesting), community programs, and liquidity. Details in the Tokenomics chapter.
A staged path from multisig to DAO. Critical parameter changes are proposed by the Guardian and ratified on-chain. The goal is transparent, evidence-based adjustments that protect small holders and long-term builders.
Milestones include the presale (30 Nov 2025), public curve activation, dVPN alpha/beta, Provenance pilots, and progressive decentralization of governance and treasury management.
You can’t crash what the math already controls. By aligning fast settlement, predictable liquidity, and predictive governance, NetDAG aims to make Web3 practical, stable, and useful.
