Abstract:
Blockchain technology has the characteristics of decentralization and tamper resistance, which can store data safely and reduce the cost of trust effectively. However, the existing blockchain system has weak performance in data management, and only supports traversal queries with transaction hashes as keywords. The query method based on the account transaction trace chain (ATTC) improves the query efficiency of historical transactions of the account. However, the efficiency of querying accounts with longer transaction chains has not been effectively improved. Given the inefficiency and single method of the ATTC index in the query, we propose a subchain-based account transaction chain (SCATC) index structure. First, the account transaction chain is divided into subchains, and the last block of each subchain is connected by a hash pointer. The block-by-block query mode in ATTC is converted to the subchain-by-subchain query mode, which shortens the query path. Multiple transactions of the same account in the same block are merged and stored, which simplifies the construction cost of the index and saves storage resources. then, the construction algorithm and query algorithm is given for the SCATC index structure. Simulation analysis shows that the SCATC index structure significantly improves query efficiency.
