Exploring Ethereum's Data Stores: A Cost and Performance Comparison
Exploring Ethereum's Data Stores: A Cost and Performance Comparison · 3 Nov 2021 · 55:18
Periklis Kostamis explains his research on what it costs, in gas, to store information in Ethereum and how quickly that data can be retrieved. The study compares smart contract storage with hybrid designs that keep large data on IPFS or Swarm and use Ethereum as a timestamping proof, along with low-cost options such as event logs, transaction payloads and unused function arguments, and it backs the comparison with experiments. A useful reference for anyone designing a decentralised application that must manage data.
