A tree structure-based blockchain

Abstract

Due to the limitation of the capacity of each block, when the number of transactions increases at the same time, it will face congestion problems and reduce the efficiency of accounting. Collaborative computing and data slicing are effective methods to improve performance, and they have been widely used in various fields. This paper proposes a tree chain architecture that adds peer-to-peer blockchain to main chain of the Ethereum. When there is a task to be processed in the main chain, the architecture assigns the task to "branch" or "leaf". The "branch" first determines whether the task can be sliced. If the task can be sliced, divide the task into leaf nodes for processing, otherwise let the branch nodes handle. By assigning tasks in this way, it is possible to help the main chain reduce the computational pressure and increase the system throughput.
