IMPROVED GOSSIP-PROTOCOL-BASED METHOD, DEVICE, EQUIPMENT AND MEDIUM FOR INCENTIVIZING BLOCK PROPAGATION

Abstract: an improved gossip-protocol-based method, a device, a piece of equipment and a medium for incentivizing block propagation. by improving the gossip protocol and embedding block propagation rewards, the block forwarding process is accelerated. the designed signature chain structure records the block forwarding path and ensures that the path information is not tampered with. by combining the signature chain structure with the block generation process, the rewards are ensured to be truly and reliably distributed. a block propagation reward distribution strategy is designed to prevent forwarding nodes from adding pseudonyms in the propagation path. therefore, the method can reduce the blockchain stale rate and enhance the scalability and consensus performance of the blockchain by accelerating block propagation in the presence of selfish nodes, and addresses the problem that selfish nodes refuse to forward blocks to save communication consumptions in the current blockchain network.
