Ethereum: Why does the blockchain still keep horses up?
Ethereum Blockchain is a decentralized public book that records all network operations. One of the main aspects of this chain of circuits is the mechanism for marking time which guarantees the integrity and transparency of the data stored there. In this article, we will deepen why Ethereum Blockchain does not always increase as planned.
TIME TAG bases
In any blockchain, brands are a way to follow when an event has occurred. Basically, this is a time when the event was created or recorded in a circuit. This time label is very important to maintain the integrity and authenticity of data stored in the blockchain.
why the time labels do not always increase
So why was Ethereum Blockchain keeping uphill beacons? There are several reasons to contribute to this phenomenon:
- Limited time between the
blocks: the time you need to add to two blockchain blocks is corrected and determined by the network consensus algorithm. This means that the creation of each block can only have a certain number of seconds, including that with the brand in the present time.
- When the extraction process increases or slows down, the blocking time can also vary. This means that even if two blocks are added to the blockchain in the same second (that is to say that they are both created in the last seconds), their time labels may not be in a line.
- Congestion of the network : When there is a high congestion of the network, it can cause delays or spaces between the blocks. Due to these questions, time marks can be offset from the expected value.
- With the increase or decrease in operations, this can cause random differences between the time note of the new block and its previous predecessor (that is to say the time brand of the previous unit).
Examples and observations
Although time brands on other blockchain networks are not uncommon for similar problems, blockchain is particularly known for its relatively high operational capacity capacity. This has led to certain creators and enthusiasts to speculate on possible reasons for which time labels may not always increase.
Some observations and examples confirm this:
* 145044 Bloc: Rare exception : As mentioned previously, the block 145044 started at 12-09-2011 Talle Tagne 15:46:39. Although it is always justified, it deviates from the typical model.
* Historical blocks changes of time label
: some historical Ethereum blocks have time marks which are very different from their predecessors or heirs. This can be attributed to a variety of factors such as block treatment or the temporary overload of the network.
Conclusion
The Ethereum Blockchain time marking mechanism is designed to ensure transparency and level of responsibility on the network. However, due to various restrictions, the time bar may not always increase as expected. These differences are relatively rare, but they can be seen in different blocks of Ethereum circuits. By changing and adapting more to changing conditions, it will probably become stronger to manage such problems.
Future research directions
In order to improve Ethereum, the blockchain holds the marking mechanism, researchers and developers study possible solutions, in particular:
* By installing a stronger time tag algorithm : the revised time brand algorithm could help reduce variability between time brands.
