论文摘要
可伸缩性一直是比特币和以太坊等主要区块链的瓶颈。尽管几个高知名区块链项目所声称的可伸缩性有了显着提高，但几乎没有努力了解如何使用其交易吞吐量。在本文中，我们在七个月的时间内研究了三个主要高量表性区块链（Eosio，Tezos和XRP Ledger（XRPL））的最新网络流量。我们的分析表明，仅将一小部分交易用于价值转移目的。特别是，EOSIO上的96％的交易是由当前无价值的代币的空投触发的。在Tezos上，76％的吞吐量用于维持共识。 XRPL的交易中超过94％没有经济价值。我们还确定了对EOSIO的持久性空投作为DOS攻击，并检测到对XRPL的两个月垃圾邮件攻击。本文探讨了三个区块链的不同设计，并阐明了它们如何塑造用户行为。
Scalability has been a bottleneck for major blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Despite the significantly improved scalability claimed by several high--profile blockchain projects, there has been little effort to understand how their transactional throughput is being used. In this paper, we examine recent network traffic of three major high-scalability blockchains--EOSIO, Tezos and XRP Ledger (XRPL)--over a period of seven months. Our analysis reveals that only a small fraction of the transactions are used for value transfer purposes. In particular, 96% of the transactions on EOSIO were triggered by the airdrop of a currently valueless token; on Tezos, 76% of throughput was used for maintaining consensus; and over 94% of transactions on XRPL carried no economic value. We also identify a persisting airdrop on EOSIO as a DoS attack and detect a two-month-long spam attack on XRPL. The paper explores the different designs of the three blockchains and sheds light on how they could shape user behavior.
