摘要

We are presenting a continuously adaptive approach that significantly reduces the storage requirements of smart-contracts, an essential part of programmable blockchains, aimed towards increasing the throughput of the blockchain overall. Our approach proposes a semantically-different blockchain architecture, which introduces a new type of nodes whose purpose is to enhance the storage used by smart-contracts, alongside a highly efficient storage model combined with a hybrid compression mechanism. We then perform real-world experiments through our custom native blockchain and evaluate the performance impact of the approach, as well as the gains observed. We also assess an important advantage lying in backwards compatibility with major blockchains today.
