Abstract

A method for deduplicating a distributed ledger, a blockchain, and a computer program product. One embodiment may comprise splitting a new block on a distributed ledger into a plurality of partitions, comparing the plurality of partitions to a deduplication (dedup) map, replacing a first partition of the plurality of partitions with a first reference to the dedup map to produce a transformed block, and communicating the transformed block via a network interface to one or more peers.
