Abstract:

A novel way of distributed coding schemes to reduce blockchain nodes' memory requirements and network load using (n,k,d) exact-regeneration MSR （ER-MSR） codes is presented. Our scheme has the same protocol for mining， broadcasting， and verification of blocks as Bitcoin-type blockchains. As for the difference， the full nodes encode data across multiple blocks and do not have to store all blocks. Specially， a group of k blocks only need to store one block. To exactly read a block data that is not stored locally， it can be realized by connecting to d helper nodes and downloading a small amount of data. While maintaining the integrity and availability of block， this scheme leads to a significant reduction in storage and recovery communication costs， and the scalability of the system is enhanced. It is proved that this system has enlarged overall storage capability and reduced the cost of network bandwidth when more nodes attend the blockchain.

Key words: blockchain, distributed storage, regeneration codes, storage scalability
