Mining in Logarithmic Space [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2021 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security, 2021 Blockchains maintain two types of data: Application data and consensus data. Towards long-term blockchain scalability, both of these must be pruned. While a large body of literature has explored the pruning of application data (UTXOs, account balances, and contract state), little has been said about the permanent pruning of consensus data (block ...
