Abstract
A blockchain scaling method includes the following operations: determining whether a transaction parameter of a block generating process in an original chain of blocks exceeds a first threshold; and forking the original chain into two sub-chains when the transaction parameter exceeds the threshold, wherein each of the two sub-chains comprises same previous block information corresponding to the original chain and a sub-chain identification.
Claims18
A blockchain scaling method, comprising:
- determining, by a processor, whether a transaction parameter of a block generating process in an original chain exceeds a threshold, wherein the transaction parameter is a block fill rate being a ratio of a current block size of the original chain and a maximum block size of the original chain;
- stopping, by the processor, the original chain when the transaction parameter exceeds the threshold;
- and
- generating, by the processor, a pair of sub-chains when the original chain is stopped, wherein each of the two sub-chains comprises same previous block information corresponding to the original chain and a sub-chain identification.

A blockchain scaling apparatus, comprising:
- memory configured to store computer readable instructions;
- and
- a processor electrically coupled to the memory and configured to retrieve the computer readable instructions to execute a blockchain scaling method that comprises:
- determining whether a transaction parameter of a block generating process in an original chain exceeds a threshold, wherein the transaction parameter is a block fill rate being a ratio of a current block size of the original chain and a maximum block size of the original chain;
- stopping the original chain when the transaction parameter exceeds the threshold;
- and
- generating a pair of sub-chains when the original chain is stopped, wherein each of the two sub-chains comprises same previous block information corresponding to the original chain and a sub-chain identification.
