Abstract
The present invention relates to a graphic-blockchain-orientated sharding storage apparatus, at least comprising a first sharding module and a second sharding module, wherein the first sharding module shards nodes having different resource capacity levels based on ledger data organized using a DAG structure, and the second sharding module assigns transactions to the shards matching with execution difficulty levels of the transactions, so that each said transaction is processed and stored in the shard corresponding thereto. The present invention incorporates the sharding technology into a graphic blockchain to provide a graphic-blockchain-orientated sharding storage method, so as to reduce pressure in terms of data storage and transaction processing on nodes of the graphic blockchain system. In addition, nodes, transactions, and data are dynamically divided according to resource heterogeneity among nodes, so as to further enhance performance of the graphic blockchain system while achieving efficient use of resources.
