Scalable Transaction Consensus in a Decentralized Key-Value Store Using IPFS

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate how to develop a decentralized key-value stores on atop of the Inter Planetary File System (IPFS) using big data technology and scalable blockchain applications. Developing techniques for consensus that enable a network of nodes to agree on the process of insertion order sequentially is the main goal of this work. Whenever the number of nodes increases, the consensus approach aims to provide near-linear efficiency. The selection of basis for this platform is Akka Cluster, which facilitates network communication. The study assesses its performance on a range of network sizes, including 200 nodes, in order to determine its effectiveness and extensibility.
