The TIM Blockchain, as they say, is not optimization but innovation. This simply means it is different from other existing Blockchain technologies which it is. The Tim Blockchain has two layers: the first layer which is lightweight and is also the root blockchain and the second layer storing data in blocks separated from the first layer using vertical shard. With sharding, the nodes on TIM’s Blockchain do not store all the data on the blockchain rather just the first root layer data and parts of the second layer. But this is not what makes TIM’s Blockchain an innovation. The clustering of nodes depending on the geographical location of those nodes is what is exclusive to TIM’s blockchain technology.
The TIM’s blockchain network makes use of a partitioning technology and separates the nodes based on their geographical location. For example, if there are 10000 nodes on the network they get separated depending on the region. So the 5000 nodes in North America will get separated from the other 3000 in Europe and 2000 in Asia. This means that all node mined in a particular geographical location will be stored only on the location specific network. The nodes in North America will have the root node and the additional data from nodes mined only in North America. This will considerably take the load of the nodes and increase the speed of transaction processing and verification. There can be several such clusters at a time on TIM’s network and this will further take off the weight and enable quicker processing.
