Abstract
A system for compressing a blockchain. The system comprises a processor; a non-transitory memory; an inactive block evaluator function stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, traverses a first blockchain stored in the non-transitory memory to identify inactive blocks on the first blockchain; a threshold evaluator function stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, evaluates whether a percentage of inactive blocks on the first blockchain exceeds a predefined threshold; and a compression function stored in the non-transitory memory that, when triggered by the threshold evaluator and executed by the processor, builds a second blockchain that comprises blocks built to contain a data content of each of the active blocks in the first blockchain and none of a data content of the inactive blocks in the first blockchain.
