Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional blockchain systems face challenges in efficiently processing and retrieving data due to the sheer amount of data and complexity of raw blockchain data, particularly when used in decentralized applications that require real-time status data.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a blockchain indexer that provides a queryable record of a subset of blockchain operations, using specialized indexing to efficiently store and retrieve metadata, allowing for real-time and near real-time status information to power decentralized applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If raw blockchain data is used to power decentralized applications, then data completeness is maintained, but processing complexity and retrieval time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing blockchain data during block formation. The transaction parser and data processor convert raw transaction data into structured, queryable formats before the block is finalized, so that when decentralized applications need data, it is already prepared and indexed for rapid retrieval without sacrificing completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the blockchain data processing into distinct components: transaction parsing, data processing, block formation, and indexing. Each component handles specific transformation tasks, allowing raw data to be systematically converted into optimized formats that maintain completeness while enabling fast querying through structured organization
2Measurement precision
If all blockchain data is stored and processed, then data accuracy is maintained, but system resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by optimizing data representation at different stages of the blockchain lifecycle. Raw transactions are parsed and converted into structured formats with appropriate data types and schemas tailored to specific application needs, maintaining accuracy while reducing storage and processing requirements for different types of blockchain data
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes data parameters through transformation from raw hexadecimal formats to structured representations with optimized data types. The system adjusts data representation parameters (encoding formats, data structures, indexing methods) to balance accuracy requirements with resource efficiency for storage and processing
3Stability of the object's composition
If conventional blockchain data structures are used, then data integrity is ensured, but query efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the immutable blockchain ledger and application queries. The data processor creates structured representations and indexes that mediate between the raw blockchain data and application needs, allowing efficient querying without compromising the integrity of the underlying blockchain data
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary data structuring and indexing during block formation, creating query-optimized representations before applications need to access the data. This advance preparation maintains data integrity while enabling rapid querying through pre-organized structures
