BlockDAG Founder Gurhan Kiziloz and His Positioning Relative to Ethereum
Challenging an established blockchain network often involves questioning existing technical and design choices. Gurhan Kiziloz has publicly expressed this perspective. With BlockDAG, he is positioning the project as an alternative to Ethereum’s existing design model. He has stated that BlockDAG is intended to address what he views as Ethereum’s technical limitations. The project is positioned toward broader adoption rather than a narrow use case.Differences in Transaction Processing ModelsProject Leadership Background and Operational ApproachCompetition for Developer Adoption and Network UsageEthereum’s Network Stability and Design ConstraintsDiffering Long-Term Approaches to Blockchain DevelopmentSummary of Observed Differences and Industry Context
Ethereum is not going to disappear. It has too much infrastructure, too much capital, too much institutional momentum. But dominance is not the same as permanence. Market share can erode. Developer attention can shift. The network that was once inevitable can become merely one option among many. Gurhan Kiziloz is building that option. He is building it fast, funding it himself, and running it with the same intensity that turned Nexus into a billion-dollar company. He is not waiting for Ethereum to stumble. He is forcing the issue. The blockchain industry has seen founders who wanted to compete with Ethereum. It has not seen many who looked at Vitalik Buterin’s decade of work and said, simply: I can do this better. And then started proving it. The project is currently being developed using a parallel transaction processing model.About Author
