A DAG is not a family but a shape of ledger: each block or transaction points to several earlier ones instead of one, so many can be added at once and put in order afterwards. Who adds them is decided by the family — work on Kaspa (GHOSTDAG), stake on Hedera and Sonic, a vote weighted by delegated balance on Nano. Each chain listed here is filed in the family that makes its blocks.
