Problem description: | The web is becoming increasingly more centralized with data congregating towards big players e.g. Google. This is not the decentralized web Tim Berners-Lee envisioned. Having a couple of companies deciding what is 'truth' and what data is available is undemocratizing. It is also endagering peoples privacy. Centralized data is more valuable to hackers and to government agencies, with the potential value of a successful hack reaching into the millions.
The web can be re-decentralized with the blockchain technology. Blockchains allow for consensus in peer-to-peer networks, removing the need for centralized servers to decide consensus. The blockchain is how Bitcoin is able to transfer money without a bank as an mediator. Ethereum allows for Turing complete applications (called smart contracts) on the blockchain, giving developers the tools needed to move anything to the blockchain. Miners, special nodes reaching consensus on the network, have to run all smart contracts. With the code in these smart contracts being measured in "gas" instead of temporal complexity and spatial complexity, means that what we know about the efficiency of different data structures, might have to be revisited. Therefor will this thesis compare various data structures on the blockchain in a theoretical and an empirical manner. |
