Comparative Study of Erasure Code in Distributed Systems and Blockchain

Abstract

As the data generated by various applications continues to grow exponentially, the need for efficient methods of storage and transmission increases. Erasure codes offer a promising solution by providing redundant information without completely recreating the data. Although erasure codes have been extensively studied, their integration and effectiveness in distributed systems and blockchain networks are still being explored. This paper explores and compares the foundations and applications of erasure codes in distributed systems and blockchain networks, and provides a comprehensive literature review of erasure code implementations and their impact on data storage and transmission. This study explores the foundations of erasure codes in distributed systems, including array and RS codes, and LDPC codes. The study also explores the use of erasure codes in distributed systems and blockchain and analyzes how these codes can improve the efficiency and scalability of decentralized storage solutions. The study examines the strengths and weaknesses of different erasure codes based on analysis and comparisons. The findings highlight the potential of erasure codes to revolutionize data storage and transmission in distributed systems and blockchain networks.
