NOMT: Scaling Blockchains with a High-throughput State Database
2024-11-09 , Ground Floor. Main Stage

NOMT is a permissively-licensed, single-state, merklized key-value database targeted at modern SSDs, optimized for fast read access, fast witnessing, and fast updating. NOMT supports efficient merkle multi-proofs of reads and updates. It is intended to be embedded into blockchain node software and is unopinionated on data format.

The vision for NOMT is for it to become the primary state database driver for performant blockchain nodes everywhere.
