Computing power detection based on smart contract

Abstract

As blockchain technology is widely applied across various fields, the performance requirements of blockchain systems, such as throughput and transaction latency, are increasing. In this context, blockchain systems have gradually evolved to adopt a two-phase consensus protocol that involves election and block generation. By electing a small number of nodes from a large-scale network to form a committee, a more efficient internal consensus protocol can be executed, thereby improving the overall performance of the blockchain system. This paper proposes a node performance detection method based on smart contracts, which sets performance thresholds for committee nodes without compromising the decentralization of public chains. This ensures high performance, low latency, and enhances the reliability of the consensus protocol.
