The paper describes the main features of blockchain technology, provides the main areas of use of this technology. Today, blockchain has evolved into a reliable and secure way to store and record transactions across a wide range of application domains. However, the impact of existing solutions on the current network infrastructure needs to be considered. The authors propose to create a system for generating and storing blockchain traffic based on the JavaScript programming language. This solution cannot be applied to cryptocurrencies, but it allows you to evaluate the work of a distributed database based on blockchain technology. The aim of the work is to analyze the delays in the generation and distribution of traffic between various numbers of nodes and the dependence of the speed of distribution and block generation on the performance of computers. The paper also considered the algorithm for joining a new node to the cluster and sending a new block to the blockchain, as well as the scheme of a node in a blockchain cluster, and presented the results of an experiment with a quantitative assessment of network performance characteristics.
