Abstract

Blockchain has emerged as a technology that can change the way people and systems interact, providing mechanisms that ensure integrity and ownership of the data produced without reliance on a trusted third-party. Appendable-block blockchain is a novel instantiation that suits for solutions that require a high transaction throughput. Appendable-block blockchains focus on data produced by nodes instead of a relation (transaction) between two entities. This new kind of blockchain can improve how data are stored and managed in distributed systems. This chapter introduces the notion of appendable-block blockchain and exemplifies its applicability in multiple practical domains. Additionally, the authors provide a discussion on the security aspects of this new blockchain. Finally, the chapter presents current issues and possible future directions for appendable-block blockchains.
