Introduction of Metrics for Blockchain

Abstract:

This article presents an introduction to the definition of a set of metrics to address the performance, scalability and workload analysis of blockchain technologies, mainly with tools applied to the Argentine Federal Blockchain and Hyperledger Fabric. Issues to consider in the application of this technology for the protection of digital evidence are also raised. Although there are known methods to measure performance, there is still no common framework that facilitates the task of achieving a comparative measurement between the different blockchain solutions, which, considering the sustained use of this technology in a wide field of application, it is shown as a vacant area for which we consider that it is necessary to advance in order to evaluate the performance in different use cases and scenarios.
