Abstract

COVID-19 virus is raging across the planet. In countries where the epidemic is under control, the main mode of virus transmission is through the transport of imported refrigerated food from epidemic areas. Blockchain is a great way for the government to trace every piece of food. However, the high-performance requirements of the blockchain system for nodes limit its wide application. Several sharding-based blockchain systems have been proposed to solve this limitation. Which blocks should be saved by nodes in the sharding-based blockchain system is a new problem. To solve this problem, the optimized data storage method is proposed in this paper. Five features of block popularity are presented, including the objective feature of a block, the objective feature of the block associated with the node, the historical popularity, the hidden popularity and the storage requirements. Then the ELM classifier is used in the optimized model due to its high performance of training and classification. Finally, the experimental results on synthetic data demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the optimized data storage model.
