Both of these terms imply a technology for solving the problem, not the concepts of Distributed Immutable Data Objects, aka DIDO. | + | * **Note:** DAGs are one reason why DIDO tries to avoid the use of terms such as Blockchain or [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:dlt|Distributed Ledger Technology]].

| - | In this type of Blockchain consensus protocol, every node itself prepares to become the ‘miners’. Now, when miners are eradicated and transactions are validated by users themselves, the associated fee reduces to zero. It becomes easier to validate transactions between any two closest nodes, which makes the whole process lightweight, faster, and secure.[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.k_consensus:09_ref:bhardwaj]] | + | In this type of Blockchain consensus [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:protocol|protocol]], every [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:n:node|node]] itself prepares to become the ‘miners’.
