Fine-Grained, Secure and Efficient Data Provenance on Blockchain Systems
Summary: LineageChain delivers fine-grained, secure provenance for blockchains, exposing execution history to smart contracts. Provenance is captured during contract execution, stored in a Merkle tree with a novel skip-list index, enabling online, efficient provenance queries on Hyperledger/ForkBase.
