LedgerDB: A Centralized Ledger Database for Universal Audit and Verification
Summary: LedgerDB is a centralized, tamper-evident ledger with non-repudiation, delivering blockchain-like auditability with much higher throughput on Alibaba Cloud. A TSA two-way peg protocol and verifiable data removals enable strong auditability, regulatory compliance, and ~80x throughput versus Hyperledger Fabric. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
