Many critical applications are designed on the distributed structure using the blockchain technology to ensure the availability, immutability, and security. However, these applications are facing the storage problem owing to the data volume growth of transaction. The number of transactions and its size in a block is growing in the blockchain day by day because of the feature of immutability and append-only. The growing nature of transactions in a block is not only making the problem for storage…

An Innovative IPFS-Based Storage Model for Blockchain
TLDR
In this paper, the miners deposit the transaction data into the IPFS network and pack the returned IPFS hash of transaction into the block, and the blockchain data is greatly reduced.
A Low Storage Room Requirement Framework for Distributed Ledger in Blockchain
TLDR
This paper proposes a network coded (NC) distributed storage framework to store the blockchain and proposes corresponding solutions to apply the NC-DS to the blockchain systems and shows that the proposed scheme achieves significant improvement in saving storage room.
Empowering Light Nodes in Blockchains with Block Summarization
TLDR
This paper introduces a method, termed block summarization, which reduces blockchain storage overhead for systems having transferable transactions, and allows resource-restricted light nodes to store a form of the blockchain such that it can validate the transactions independently which ultimately reduce dependency on full nodes.
