Abstract

Over the past few years, blockchains have captured the public's interest with the promise of pseudo-anonymous decentralized exchange infrastructures. However, their potential is hindered by various technical issues, such as their ability to scale with problematic storage and communication costs and a fairly low transaction throughput. In this paper, we present SplitChain, a protocol intended to support the creation of scalable account-based blockchains without undermining decentralization and security. This is achieved by using sharding, i.e. by splitting the blockchain into several lighter chains managed by their own disjoint sets of validators called shards. These shards balance the load by processing disjoint sets of transactions in parallel. SplitChain distinguishes itself from other sharded blockchains by minimizing the synchronization constraints among shards while maintaining security guarantees. Finally, the protocol is designed to dynamically adapt the number of shards to the system load, to avoid over-dimensioning issues of most of the existing sharding-based solutions where the number of shards is static.
摘要:SplitChain:具有完全去中心化动态分片的区块链,具有快速适应对手的弹性
在过去的几年里,区块链以其伪匿名去中心化交换基础设施的承诺吸引了公众的兴趣。然而,它们的潜力受到各种技术问题的阻碍,例如它们在有问题的存储和通信成本以及相当低的事务吞吐量的情况下进行扩展的能力。在本文中,我们介绍了SplitChain,这是一种旨在支持创建可扩展的基于账户的区块链而不破坏去中心化和安全性的协议。这是通过使用分片来实现的,即将区块链分成几个更轻的链,由它们自己的不相交的验证器集(称为分片)管理。这些分片通过并行处理不相交的事务集来平衡负载。SplitChain与其他分片区块链的区别在于最小化分片之间的同步约束,同时保持安全保证。最后,该协议被设计为动态地适应系统负载的分片数量,以避免大多数现有的基于分片的解决方案中分片数量是静态的过维问题。
