Change of Ethereum patient: Blockchain architecture specific to the knot?
The Ethereum network, designed by Vitalik Butini, was considered the main global platform for decentralized programs (DAP) and intelligent treaties. However, one of Ethereum’s important concerns is to change its scaling. The whole blockchain is not stored in a single knot; Instead, it is divided into smaller pieces called blocks or chains. This design allows several assemblies to confirm and add new data to each block by allowing faster operating time and an increased scale.
However, this conception also raises an important question: why can each node only have part of the blockchain? In other words, if the current Ethereum architecture is limited by the size of its network, why not have different nodes with different storage options?
A possible solution to this problem is to use the architecture of the blockchain characteristic of a node. This would mean that the blockchain divided into smaller pieces or blocks stored in separate knots. Each node could contain part of the blockchain, allowing more effective use of resources.
However, there are several reasons why it is impossible to implement the following architecture:
- Relation of the international node : In the current Ethereum architecture, the nodes communicate with each other via a decentralized network. This allows several nodes to confirm and include new data with each unit, ensuring the integrity of the blockchain. However, this also means that different nodes have different access to the total blockchain. To install the architecture of a particular node, each node must be connected to all the other nodes that will require significant network design changes.
- When installing a specific node architecture, you will also have to install a different consensus mechanism which can apply several assemblies with different storage options.
- Network congestion
: With more than a million Active Ethereum nodes, the network is already overcrowded. The addition of another layer of complexity, such as the architecture of the blockchain, can increase the overload of the network.
- If each node stores only the part of the blockchain part, it would be difficult if the smart contracts were access and check the data from different nodes.
- Interaction
: Ethereum is designed to operate with other circuits and platforms via various interaction protocols. By installing the typical architecture of the node, this can cause rupture and reduce interaction.
In conclusion, it is theoretically possible to implement the blockchain architecture of the particular unit, which will require significant changes in the design of the network, including the communication mechanisms between unit, consensus mechanisms and the execution of intellectual contracts. In addition, this can lead to new vulnerabilities and congestion problems that can affect the overall functioning of the Ethereum network.
However, there are alternative solutions:
- Each chip can be stored in a separate node which allows more effective use of resources and improves scaling.
