Distributed Ledger Storage Segmentation for Scalable Secure Transactions

The patent segments the database into two distinct parts: hot data (frequently accessed transaction information) and cold data (historical transaction records). Validator nodes only maintain hot data locally, while cold data is stored on designated archival nodes. This segmentation reduces storage requirements for validator nodes while maintaining security through distributed verification of both hot and cold data across the network.

The patent introduces a new dimensional organization of data storage by separating frequently accessed data from historical data across different node types. Instead of all nodes storing identical complete databases, the system creates a multi-dimensional storage architecture where full nodes store hot data and archival nodes store cold data, both contributing to security through their respective roles.

The patent segments the transaction processing workflow into distinct phases: validation phase (sequential verification of transaction legitimacy by validator nodes) and consensus phase (parallel agreement on transaction order). This segmentation allows accurate sequential validation while achieving parallel consensus, thereby maintaining consensus accuracy while improving transaction throughput.

The patent implements preliminary validation of transactions before consensus voting. Validator nodes perform preliminary checks on transaction legitimacy, signatures, and state validity before including transactions in consensus blocks. This preliminary action ensures consensus accuracy by filtering invalid transactions early, while enabling faster parallel processing of valid transactions during the consensus phase.

The patent implements local quality control by assigning different access permissions to different data elements within user accounts. Instead of uniform access control, the system applies fine-grained permissions where users have full access to their own assets but restricted access to others' data. This local quality approach maintains ease of operation for legitimate users while enhancing security by limiting attack surface through selective access control.

The patent implements preliminary anti-action through cryptographic authentication and authorization checks before any asset access operations. The system performs preliminary verification of user identities, transaction signatures, and access permissions before allowing any state-modifying operations. This preliminary anti-action prevents malicious attacks by blocking unauthorized access attempts before they can affect digital assets, while maintaining ease of operation for authenticated users.
