Ethereum: Understanding the slow performance of Bitcoin Clu commands
As a community of passionate and cryptocurrency developers, we are often interested in how different commands with the basic blockchain interact. In this article, in particular, we will deepen such an order: ‘Bitcoin-cll-getbalance . We research why it lasts so long and what can be done to improve its performance.
Bitcoin bases cli
Bitcoin-clve is a command line tool that allows you to interact with the Bitcoin block chain. It offers a wide range of commands, including “GetBalance”, which seeks balance for a specific address.
Why does it take so long?
Let’s look at the “GetBalance” order code:
`Bash
{
"Jsonrpc": "2.0",
"Method": "GetBalance",
"Parameters": {
"Address": "0x1234567890ABCDEF"
},
"ID": 1
}
This is a simple, asynchronous request, which sends a "GetBalance" RPC call to the Bitcoin network. However, this request contains several steps:
- Event excavation : The network is extracted in a block that contains your balance. This process requires time and calculation resources.
- Wallet Conference : Your wallet should be checked for creating the block that contains your balance. This step is usually done locally on the customer's car.
- RPC call
: Once the events are confirmed, the "GetBalance" request is sent to the network as RPC call.
Blockage: transaction mine
As can be seen in the above code, extracting events (step 1) requires a lot of time and resources. In fact, it can take a few minutes to a few hours or even days to reflect the balance in the block chain.
API optimization
In order to improve the performance of the "GetBalance" commands, we must optimize the RPC call:
* Reduce the number of transactions : Instead of excavating each block that contains the current balance, consider a technique called "lot" that groups several blocks together and sends them simultaneously.
* Use more efficient data structures : Consider using a binary form, such as "binpack, instead of JSON to store blockchain. This can reduce the amount of information shipped by network.
Here is an example of how you can perform lot events:
`Bash
{
"Jsonrpc": "2.0",
"Method": "BatchgetBalance",
"Parameters": [
{
"Address": "0x1234567890ABCDEF"
},
{
"Address": "0x234567890ABCDEF"
}
],],
"ID": 1
}
`
By separating several events together, we can reduce the number of requests from the network and improve the general performance.
Conclusion
In summary, the “GetBalance” commands in Ethereum have a relatively slow response time due to the need for excavations and wallet certification. However, by optimizing the RPC invitation (for example, the use of events) and the implementation of more efficient data structures, we can significantly reduce the delayed delay associated with these orders.
Notes API
Remember that this is just an example of implementation and you have to contact the official “Bitcoin -cli” documentation for more information about optimizing calls in your application. Be aware of the potential security effects when using some events or other techniques. optimization.
