摘要

The blockchain trilemma–simultaneously achieving scalability, security, and decentralization–remains a persistent challenge in distributed systems. This study introduces StorjChain, a framework leveraging Storj’s decentralized storage network (DSN) and Proof-of-Storage (PoS) consensus to resolve this trilemma. By fragmenting data into 256-byte shards distributed across 84 global nodes, StorjChain achieves 98.7% shard availability via erasure coding (29 data + 55 parity shards) and 3 \(\times \) × replication per shard while reducing on-chain metadata to 64 bytes per transaction. The system processes 980 transactions per second (TPS) with 1.2-second latency, demonstrating a chain quality score of 0.92 under 35% adversarial influence. StorjChain reduces storage costs by 76% compared to traditional blockchains, requiring only 192.3 GB for 867,541 blocks. Experimental analyses confirm its ability to harmonize scalability, security, and decentralization, setting a new standard for blockchain applications.
