Integration Of Blockchain and Edge Computing to Improve The Scalability and Latency

Abstract

The core technology of cryptocurrency is blockchain which has attracted a lot of attention. This technology has been adopted in many real time applications. Still, there is an expandable scalability barrier to blockchain, that bounds its capability to support amenities with recurring transactions. Edge Computing, on the other hand, has expanded to distribute cloud resources and services across the network, however at this time facing challenges in the management of distributed environment and security. The combination of blockchain with EDGE computing solve such type of problems and give secure reliable access, improve scalability by reducing the latency time, data storage and control of decentralized networks. In this study, we describe and discuss the research challenges and combination of edge computing and blockchain system. We find some key features of the incorporation of blockchain and edge computing with some broad theories are explored.
