Análise de Custo de Infraestrutura em Redes Blockchain Públicas e Permissionadas
Abstract
Blockchain is a disruptive technology that offers resources to increase security in relationships between organizations via the auditable and decentralized record of transactions. There is a growing interest in applications of this technology, but its use requires the choice of a public or permissioned network. The network type impacts the non-functional qualities of applications, especially performance and cost. In this paper, we investigated this impact focusing on the infrastructure of public and permissioned networks for a typical blockchain application. We model the monetary cost of the infrastructure for the application to obtain the maximum throughput as a function of the expected workload in transactions per second. The results show the scalability limits of these networks and trade-offs between the cost and performance in blockchain application design.
