Downsampling and Transparent Coding for Blockchain
With the development of blockchain, the huge history data limits the
scalability of the blockchain. This paper proposes to downsample these data to
reduce the storage overhead of nodes. These nodes keep good independency, if
downsampling follows the entropy of blockchain. Moreover, it demonstrates that
the entire blockchain history can be efficiently recovered through the
cooperative decoding of a group of nodes like fountain codes, if reserved data
over these nodes obey the soliton distribution. However, these data on nodes
are uncoded (transparent). Thus, the proposed algorithm not only keeps
decentralization and security, but also has good scalability in independency
and recovery.Comment: 8pages, 6 figure
