Probabilistic Relay for Efficient Propagation in Blockchain Networks

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for nodes in a blockchain network, in which a computer-implemented method provides data corresponding to an object, such as a transaction or block, on a node having multiple interfaces to the blockchain network. Has to receive or generate for distribution within. The transaction can be a Bitcoin transaction recorded on the blockchain. The method determines a correlation matrix with a correlation coefficient that represents the correlation between the data processed at each interface of the node. From the correlation matrix, the correlation index for each interface is determined. A threshold or indicator is calculated and the data or object, such as a Bitcoin transaction, is relayed from the node through the interface according to the set of correlation coefficients of the interface that receives the data. The indicator or threshold can be calculated from the correlation matrix and the data is relayed if the correlation between the receiving interface and the other interface is lower than the indicator. The present invention also belongs to the corresponding computer readable storage medium, electronic device, blockchain network node, blockchain network supernode, or blockchain network.
