초록

Peer-to-Peer 망에서 디지털 콘텐츠를 거래와 암호화폐를 발행할 수 있는 신뢰망인 비트코인이 출현된 후, 거래 성능을 향상시키기 위해 많은 블록체인이 개발되었다. Joseph Lubin이 이런 Transaction Per Second (TPS) 만 강조한 블록체인 망에 탈중앙화 지수라는 개념을 최근 보완하여 Decentralization TPS (DTPS)를 제안하였지만, TPS에 대한 가중치가 여전히 크고 확장 트릴레마 중 하나인 보안 이슈를 충분히 고려하지 않았다. 본 논문은 블록체인 크기, 고아 블록률과 평균 블록 크기를 고려하여 새로운 신뢰 메트릭을 제안하고, 시그모이드 함수 및 최적화 기법으로 블록체인 망의 만족도를 극대화하기 위한 최적의 블록체인 크기를 제시했다. 인기 있는 블록체인 망들과 비교하여 기존 Lubin의 신뢰 모델보다 향상된 성능을 보였으며, 비트코인 계열의 블록체인 망이 이더리움 보다 나은 최적의 데이터 볼륨과 신뢰 만족도를 제공했다.

With the appearance of Bitcoin that builds peer-to-peer networks for transaction of digital content and issuance of cryptocurrency, lots of blockchain networks have been developed to improve transaction performance. Recently, Joseph Lubin discussed Decentralization Transaction per Second (DTPS) against alleviating the value of biased TPS. However, this Lubin's trust model did not enough consider a security issue in scalability trilemma. Accordingly, we proposed a trust metric based on blockchain size, stale block rate, and average block size, using a sigmoid function and convex optimization. Via numerical analysis, we presented the optimal blockchain size of popular blockchain networks and then compared the proposed trust metric with the Lubin's trust model. Besides, Bitcoin based blockchain networks such as Litecoin were superior to Ethereum for trust satisfaction and data volume.
