vChain: Enabling Verifiable Boolean Range Queries over Blockchain Databases
Summary: vChain enables verifiable boolean range queries on blockchain DBs via an accumulator-based authenticated data structure. Intra-/inter-block indexes and an inverted-prefix tree accelerate verification for subscriptions; security analysis confirms practicality. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
