ContractDB: Secure and Efficient Integration of Large Legacy Data With Blockchain DApps

Published
Record updated

Summary

ContractDB is a framework that integrates external verifiable databases (VDBs) with blockchain DApps to offload data storage and verifiable query processing from the chain. The authors propose a VDB design using authenticated dictionaries and authenticated set operations, plus a disputable update mechanism that uses public verification to lower update costs. In evaluations, ContractDB verified results of a 6-condition conjunction query on a 2^20-line table within 2.4 million gas, while storing the same data in contracts required over 36 billion gas.
