# How Does It Work? Trac Network - unlike traditional blockchains, does not utilize blocks to process transactions. Instead it operates in favor of a constant stream of transactions that are peer-to-peer-validated and settled on decentralized ledgers. The topology of Trac Network allows for near-instant transaction settlement and a better user-experience. Trac Network uses DAGs as well as distributed clocks to maintain linearized and causal order of network messages. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
