A blockchain architecture operating over a skip graph-based P2P overlay to improve a communication and storage efficiency, a convergence to centralization, and consistency problems of existing blockchain solutions is provided. The blockchain architecture provides addressable peers, blocks, and transactions within a network; making the addressable peers, the blocks and transactions efficiently accessible in an on-demand manner by peers using a skip graph lookup operation where no peer is required to store an entire blockchain, and stores a replicated subset of the blocks and transactions and answers queries of other peer on the blocks and transactions. The blockchain architecture discloses a fair blockchain with a uniform chance for participating peers to be involved in a consensus protocol regardless of an influence of the participating peers in a system with an improved consistency governing a deterministic fork-resolving policy.

Distributed hash table based blockchain architecture for resource constrained environments

The present invention relates to a data storage and retrieval system. The system includes a at least one client device; and at least one-server. The server includes at least one memory, a processor and a log store. The client data is divided into different blocks and stored in the server. Different logs are generated for each block and stored in the log store. The storage in the server are audited for ensuring their integrity. The present invention also relates to a method used to store and retrieve data form the above system. The present invention also relates to a method used to initialize empty buffers in a storage of a system.
