Abstract
This work presents vCubeChain, a scalable permissioned blockchain based on the vCube virtual topology. vCube is a virtual hierarchical topology that presents several logarithmic properties. vCubeChain employs a leader election algorithm that relies on the failure detection information that vCube provides. The leader employs a vCube-based autonomic reliable broadcast algorithm to disseminate blocks, each consisting of multiple transactions. In case multiple leaders end up concurrently elected due to false suspicions, vCubeChain is proven to recover to a consistent state upon the discovery of contradictory blocks. vCubeChain is described, specified, and correctness and liveness draft proofs are presented. The blockchain was implemented on the Blocksim simulator, and a set of experiments are presented, including comparisons with Bitcoin, Ethereum and Hyperledge Fabric. Results demonstrate the scalability of the solution.
