Abstract
With the development of blockchain technology, innovative application scenarios for data sharing combined with blockchain are emerging on a large scale. However, due to the high research and development costs of building data sharing blockchain applications in different scenarios, this chapter proposes a layered data sharing architecture with blockchain. First, the architecture is outlined, including design principles, functional overview, and layered elaboration. Then, the design ideas of each layer are described in detail according to the overall architecture, including the design of the entity layer, data repository layer, service layer and application layer. The description of each layer not only helps to understand the content of the layer, but also contributes to understand the relationship between the layers. At the end of this chapter, a scenario example based on this architecture is given and analyzed.
