TFSC Architecture: A Detailed Overview

What is TFSC?

TFSC is a blockchain platform that represents a decentralized and distributed network with the aim of providing high throughput, reliability, and transaction security. Let’s explore the key aspects of the TFSC architecture.

Decentralized P2P Network

TFSC employs a fully connected decentralized and distributed P2P network structure. This means that all nodes in the network are equal and function as both clients and servers simultaneously. Such an approach ensures high resilience and the absence of a single point of vulnerability.

Network Structure

In the TFSC architecture, each node possesses specific characteristics and performs the following functions:

1. Archiving

All TFSC nodes store the historical state of all blocks. The global state of the blockchain corresponds to any block in its history that is saved on a node. This ensures complete historical transparency of data.

2. Validation

TFSC nodes directly verify the authenticity of transaction data locally. This guarantees that each transaction in the network undergoes verification before being added to a block.

3. Broadcast

Participation in the network-wide broadcast of block and transaction information ensures the distribution of data across the entire network. This allows all nodes to be aware of the current state of the blockchain.

4. Synchronization Node

Upon a new node joining the network, it is detected and connected to synchronize with other nodes. This ensures data consistency across all network participants.

5. Heartbeat

The heartbeat mechanism is used to check the reliability of the connection status between nodes in the network. This enables the rapid detection and response to lost connections between nodes.

6. Interface

An open query interface provides precise fundamental current information about the network and the TFSC blockchain.

Unique Identifiers

To ensure the authenticity of nodes in the TFSC network, each verification node is tagged with a unique identifier on the list of nodes. This guarantees that only legitimate nodes participate in the validation of blockchain data.

Fully Connected & Quantity Limit

The TFSC architecture employs a fully connected approach and limits the number of nodes in the network to a range of 500 to 1000. This decision is made to maintain high network performance and security. If the number of nodes becomes too large, it can affect network performance, so limiting the number of nodes helps to sustain system stability in the long term.

Network Communication Process

The TFSC network uses reliable two-way communication utilizing the TCP protocol. This ensures message preservation and their dependable delivery between nodes.

Network Function Module

The network function module includes key mechanisms such as registration, heartbeat, and block height change notification.

TCP Registration

The registration process allows network nodes to establish and maintain connections with each other. This is necessary for data exchange and the execution of various functions within the network.

This mechanism, called “heartbeat,” helps nodes in the network maintain communication and know that other nodes are still active. Here’s how it works:

  1. A node starts decreasing the “heartbeats” (like a timer) for all known nodes and sends a ping request (a simple check to see if the other node is alive).
  2. When a node receives a successful response to the ping request, it resets the heartbeat counter for that node and sends back a pong response (indicating that it’s alive and ready to communicate).
  3. When the sending node receives a successful pong response, it resets the heartbeat counter for the receiving node and updates its information, knowing that this node is still active.

If a node goes into autonomous mode and doesn’t respond to these requests for a certain period, it gets removed from the information of other nodes. This mechanism helps the network maintain up-to-date information about the status of each node and reduces the risk of using outdated information.

Block Height Change Notification

A change in block height is a significant event in the TFSC blockchain. Notification of this event helps nodes synchronize and update information about the blockchain’s state.

TFSC represents a modern and dependable blockchain architecture that provides high performance and transaction security. Its decentralized structure and innovative network interaction mechanisms make it a promising platform for various blockchain-based applications.
