ForkBase: An Efficient Storage Engine for Blockchain and Forkable Applications
Summary: ForkBase is a storage engine for blockchain and forkable apps that natively manages multiversion data and two fork semantics. A novel index enables fast queries and cross-version deduplication across objects, branches, and versions, delivering high performance and reduced development effort.
