The National Science Foundation awarded Syracuse University a $498,624 project grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to develop cost optimization techniques for decentralized applications on blockchains. The university will design and evaluate approaches to reduce the monetary costs incurred by end-users of decentralized finance and other applications, such as bundling transaction requests and dynamically reorganizing data storage. A key deliverable will be middleware to cost-effectively process real workloads on operational blockchains like Ethereum. The researchers will also create software for analyzing transaction records to advance understanding of application costs under dynamic conditions. This work stands to significantly lower expenses for decentralized applications and facilitate adoption across industries including web services, information technology, and financial technology.
