GAYA’s Data Structure: CAAS
Cells as a Storage Solution
Data storage in the GAYA blockchain is managed through a specialized system called “cells.” These cells form the foundation for organizing, processing, and securing data within the blockchain, ensuring that information is efficiently stored and accessible.
Types of Cells in GAYA GAYA employs various cell types to optimize data storage and processing:
Standard Cells: These are the basic storage units in GAYA, used to store essential blockchain data, such as account balances, smart contract code, and transaction information.
Specialized Cells: Pruned Branch Cells: Store only the essential branches of the data structure, reducing redundancy and enhancing storage efficiency.
Library Reference Cells: Reference shared code libraries within the blockchain, allowing for streamlined reuse of smart contract code across multiple applications.
Merkle Proof Cells: Hold cryptographic proofs, ensuring data integrity and enabling quick verification against the blockchain’s root hash.
Merkle Update Cells: Facilitate updates to Merkle structures as the blockchain state evolves, enabling efficient state tracking.
