Architecture reconstruction and evaluation of blockchain open source platform

Abstract

Recently, public interest in the blockchain technology has surged and various applications based on the technology have emerged. However, there has been little study on architectural evaluations of popular block chain platforms that can help the developers choose an appropriate architecture matching their needs. In this paper, we reconstruct and evaluate the architecture of Hyperledger and Ethereum, which are representative open source platforms for blockchain. The evaluation results indicate that Hyperledger is strong in modifiability and performance whereas Ethereum is better in security.
