In-house Presentation

In this talk, I will discuss our current research on Blockchain scalability using Setchain Data-type. Blockchain scalability has been a persistent challenge limiting blockchain’s widespread adoption. One solution to Blockchain scalability is Setchain, a reliable distributed object designed to improve scalability by relaxing the strict total order requirement among transactions. In this work, we propose and evaluate three distinct Setchain algorithms that leverage any underlying block-based ledger. All three Setchain algorithms are implemented on top of the CometBFT blockchain application platform. We deployed these implementations as docker nodes in a cluster. We conducted performance evaluations across various configurations. Our results show that the Setchain algorithms reach orders of magnitude higher throughput than the underlying blockchain
