MSDT: Blockchain-Based Multi-Subset Data Trading Protocol Enabled Data Availability and Non-repudiation

Paper Performance Testing

Testing the gas costs of smart contracts designed in the paper by setting up a private Ethereum blockchain locally.

Install dependencies

Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the required Python libraries.

Build a private blockchain

To set up a private Ethereum blockchain locally, you can use Truffle's Ganache component to accomplish this quickly.

Create Account

Create two blockchain accounts and ensure sufficient funds in each account.

On-Chain Gas Cost Testing

Write the two account addresses and private keys to MSDT\single\wallet\client.json and MSDT\single\wallet\cloud.json.

Write the local node RPC address to MSDT\single\wallet\rpc.json.

After enabling the private blockchain, navigate to the single directory and run python gas_test.py to complete the contract gas cost test.
