【Abstract】The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the essential component of Industry 4.0. Blockchain is a promising technology for secure data sharing and trustable cooperation between IIoT devices. However, the ever-growing transaction records make it difficult for the storage-limited IIoT devices to join the blockchain network. In this article, an adaptive compression scheme is proposed to decrease the storage volume on each node. In the scheme, the block body is compressed by representing the included transactions as their remainders stored in the distributed nodes. The original transaction could be recovered based on the Chinese remainder theorem. In particular, each node adapts its compression ratio according to its storage resource. The nodes storing more data have advantages in transaction recovery, introducing an incentive mechanism for efficient storage utilization. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve a high compression ratio with good service availability. The proposed scheme dramatically lowers the threshold for IIoT devices to join the blockchain network, which is important for the large-scale application of blockchain in Industry 4.0.
