We propose a blockchain enabled relational storage system that supports immutable transactions and temporal snapshots . By embedding blockchains in relational tables, the database stores trust related information in a tamper proof fashion, making the data provenance provably verifiable.
Read moreHow is a blockchain different from a relational database?
Blockchain is designed to work in a decentralized manner, whereas the databases are always centralized . This unique feature of blockchain gives it the leverage it needs to become the next generation of technology.
Read moreIs blockchain more secure than traditional database?
Blockchain technology uses decentralized data storage to sidestep this issue, thereby building security into its very structure. Though blockchain technology is well-suited to record certain kinds of information, traditional databases are better suited for other kinds of information .
Read moreIs blockchain the best database?
Because a traditional database is centralized, it can be hacked and tampered with. Blockchain, on the other hand, is very difficult, if not virtually impossible, to compromise. So if you have sensitive data to store and require a database with high fault tolerance, blockchain is your best bet .
Read moreWhy should we use blockchain?
Blockchain helps in the verification and traceability of multistep transactions needing verification and traceability . It can provide secure transactions, reduce compliance costs, and speed up data transfer processing. Blockchain technology can help contract management and audit the origin of a product.
