Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The interval at which bitcoin payments are approved is intentionally adjusted to be once every 10 minutes. While it is technically easy to shorten the interval, shortening the interval increases the fork rate, which in turn increases the possibility of the blockchain being hijacked. Bitcoin uses a Peer to Peer (P2P) network, which has the disadvantage of long block propagation time. In this study, we propose to use Skip Graph in the network layer of the blockchain to reduce the block propagation time and shorten the block approval interval without increasing the forking rate. In addition, we solve the load balancing problem of Skip Graph by using Virtual Replica Node Tree (VRNT).
