AdaChain: A Learned Adaptive Blockchain
Summary: AdaChain uses reinforcement learning to adaptively select among permissioned blockchain architectures to maximize effective throughput under dynamic, heterogeneous smart-contract workloads. It performs secure runtime architecture switches, converges quickly, and outperforms fixed designs with low overhead. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
