【Abstract】Blockchain technology has emerged as a novel distributed ledger technology, facilitating data sharing and system management securely and efficiently without interventions from a central authority. However, blockchain technology alone is not suitable for enterprise-class applications, mainly due to the limitations in capacity expansion and veri?cation speed of blockchain systems. This paper proposes a secure and effective construction scheme for blockchain networks to improve performance and address the effective management concerns of blockchain data based on transaction categories. We designed a network link protocol to construct a directed acyclic graph (DAG) blockchain network and used a sharding protocol to divide the DAG blockchain into multiple category shards to process transactions in parallel. We then extensively evaluated our proposed design on local clusters. The experimental results show that our link and shard protocols achieved high throughput and the category-based sharded DAG blockchain demonstrated high scalability.
