Abstract

Disclosed are an Ethereum state data storage optimization method, an Ethereum state data storage optimization system, and an Ethereum system. The method includes: using an MPT tree structure to store Ethereum state data; and compressing a height of an MPT tree, so as to reduce the number of times of disk io. By increasing capacity of a branch node, optimization in a horizontal direction can be performed to the MPT tree of Ethereum state data; by compressing the height of the MPT tree of the Ethereum state data on a single prefix path, optimization in a vertical direction can be performed to the MPT tree of the Ethereum state data; and by selecting and arranging different key lengths according to a data type, layers of the MPT tree can be effectively reduced, so that the purpose of reducing the number of times of disk io can be achieved.
