Implementation of Dewblock Clients on a Mobile Platform

Dewblock is a blockchain system based on dew computing and cloud-dew architecture. The goal of Dewblock was to implement a generic client architecture comparable to a typical blockchain system but with sufficiently low memory usage to be deployed on a personal computer or mobile phone, providing functionality consistent with a full node. In order to provide the features of a full node, the dewblock client uses the mechanisms of a cloud-dew architecture while maintaining a standard peer-to-peer architecture for internode communication. In this paper, a mobile application will be discussed, which implements Dewblock allowing it to run on any Android mobile phone. The primary intent was to prove the deployability of Dewblock on mobile platforms, and while Android was chosen here for expediency, the general principles involved can be applied to other platforms, such as iOS or personal computers.
