blockDAG To GHOSTDAG To Virtual StateWorking Model BridgesThe consensus bridge from graph structure into accepted consequences.UTXO To Virtual State To IndexerWorking Model BridgesHow spendable state, consensus processing, and observation layers connect without collapsing into one layer.Consensus, GHOSTDAG, And blockDAGConsensusBuild the bridge from public Kaspa descriptions into GHOSTDAG, virtual state, and source-level consensus review.blockDAG ModelConsensusA blockDAG starts from the simple fact that valid blocks can be found close together, but it does not remove the need for a consistent ordering rule.Blue Score And Blue WorkConsensusBlue score and blue work are progress indicators in the consensus view and need careful explanation before apps use them.Consensus FAQ And Failure ModesConsensusThis question-led page corrects common misreadings: DAG does not mean no ordering, selected parent is not the whole state story, and mempool visibility is not accepted evidence.DAGKnight Research EdgeConsensusDAGKnight belongs in research edge unless current implementation and release evidence supports stronger status.GHOSTDAG MechanicsConsensusThis page explains selected parent, mergesets, blue/red classification, blue score, and blue work as connected mechanics.PHANTOM And GHOSTDAGConsensusPHANTOM and GHOSTDAG belong in the research-to-implementation bridge: the paper motivates the model, and Rusty Kaspa closes current behavior.Selected Parent And MergesetsConsensusSelected parent and mergesets are the first place where DAG intuition becomes source-level mechanics.Virtual State And Accepted TransactionsConsensusVirtual state is where ordered consensus consequences become transaction and UTXO evidence for tools and applications.GHOSTDAG Function WalkthroughContributionThe GHOSTDAG walkthrough turns consensus vocabulary into function-level review.Rusty Kaspa Consensus MapCore ProtocolRusty Kaspa is the primary current implementation authority, but readers need a map before treating the repository as a flat list of files.Proof Of Work To blockDAG To GHOSTDAGFirst ContactA bridge from ordinary proof of work intuition into Kaspa's graph and ordering vocabulary.Why blockDAGFirst ContactWhy Kaspa introduces blockDAG structure before explaining GHOSTDAG ordering and virtual state.Why blockDAG MattersFoundationsThis page gives the first transition from ordinary chain intuition into Kaspa's blockDAG model, while keeping paper vocabulary separate from implementation behavior.
