摘要：
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer ledger system based on the blockchain technology. With the development of Bitcoin, the existing Bitcoin system architecture can no longer meet the demand of the increasingly large volume of transactions, so that Bitcoin scalability becomes one of the most important problems to solve in Bitcoin-related systems today. The Bitcoin system is a complex human-centered socio-economic system, and the Bitcoin scalability problem is a complex problem involving multi-party interests, which has attracted increasing attention of both industries and academia. This paper presents a research framework for the Bitcoin scalability problem, including the key technologies, constraints and related issues, in order to help explore and study the Bitcoin scalability problem. Under the framework, we first introduce two kinds of key technologies and their current developments. Secondly, we summarize factors that restrict the Bitcoin scalability from the aspects of network load and node performance. Finally, we explore the related security issues and economic issues involved in the Bitcoin scalability. Copyright © 2019 Acta Automatica Sinica. All rights reserved.
