Title
Investigating the Network Characteristics of Blockchain Networks
Goal
To analyze and model the network characteristics of a blockchain network, focusing on data propagation, peer-to-peer communication, and node churn, through statistical analysis and practical experiments involving node setup and simulations.
Description
This project aims to study the network characteristics of blockchain networks, with a specific focus on the Bitcoin network. The research will cover aspects such as data propagation, peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, and node churn. The project will involve both analytical and statistical methods, along with practical experiments such as setting up nodes or simulations.
