The '''Blockchain-based database''' is a combination of [[database|traditional database]] and [[distributed database]] where [[data]] is transacted and recorded via ''Database Interface''<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Gaetani|first=Edoardo|last2=Aniello|first2=Leonardo|last3=Baldoni|first3=Roberto|last4=Lombardi|first4=Federico|last5=Margheri|first5=Andrea|last6=Sassone|first6=Vladimiro|date=2017|others=Edoardo Gaetani, Leonardo Aniello, Roberto Baldoni, Federico Lombardi, Andrea Margheri, Vladimiro Sassone|title=Blockchain-based database to ensure data integrity in cloud computing environments|url=http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1816/paper-15.pdf|journal=|language=en|volume=|pages=|via=}}</ref> (also known as ''Compute Interface'')<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=Casino|first=Fran|last2=K.

== Concept ==

In actual case, the blockchain essentially has no querying abilities when compared to [[database|traditional database]] and with a doubling of [[Node (networking)|nodes]], network traffic quadruples with no improvement in throughput, latency, or capacity.<ref name=":2">{{Citecite journalarxiv|last=Raikwar|first=Mayank|last2=Gligoroski|first2=Danilo|last3=Velinov|first3=Goran|date=2020-03-12|title=Trends in Development of Databases and Blockchain|journal=arXiv:2003.05687 [cs]|volume=|pages=1|arxiv=2003.05687|bibcode=2020arXiv200305687R}}</ref> To overcome these shortcomings, taking a [[database|traditional database]] and adding blockchain features to it sounds more feasible.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/blockchains-in-the-database-world-what-for-and-how/|title=How to use blockchain to build a database solution|last=Anadiotis|first=George|website=ZDNet|language=en|access-date=2020-03-27}}</ref> That's how the concept of Blockchain-based database came into existence which consists of multiple member clouds riding on two primary layers, the first one is ''Database Interface'' and the second one is the ''Blockchain Anchoring''.<ref name=":0" />

== List of Blockchain-based databases ==

This list consists of the databases which are developed and deployed through a [[Database|traditional database model]] over a [[blockchain]] framework;<ref name=":2" />
