 dag API
 =======
 
-#### `dag.put`
+> The dag API comes to replace the `object API`, it support the creation and manipulation of dag-pb object, as well as other IPLD formats (i.e dag-cbor, ethereum-block, git, etc)
 
-> Store an IPLD format node
+#### `dag.workbench`
 
-##### `Go` **WIP**
-
-##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.dag.put(dagNode, formatMulticodec, hashAlg, callback)
-
-`dagNode` - a DAG node that follows one of the supported IPLD formats.
-
-`formatMulticodec` - The IPLD format multicodec.
-
-`hashAlg` - The hash algorithm to be used over the serialized dagNode.
-
-`callback` must follow `function (err) {}` signature, where `err` is an error if the operation was not successful.
-
-If no `callback` is passed, a [promise][] is returned.
-
-#### `dag.get`
-
-> Retrieve an IPLD format node
+> Creates a virtual workspace where you can create nodes and delete them, without paying the cost of constantly hashing
 
 ##### `Go` **WIP**
 
-##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.object.get(cid, callback)
-
-`cid` is a [CID][https://github.com/ipfs/js-cid] instance.
-
-`callback` must follow `function (err, dagNode) {}` signature, where `err` is an error if the operation was not successful and `dagNode` is the IPLD format DAG node retrieved.
+##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.dag.workbench(??)
 
 If no `callback` is passed, a [promise][] is returned.
