    Abstract: A method for extending a blockchain comprises, at a space server: allocating an amount of drive storage for generating proofs-of-space; or accessing a first challenge based on a prior block of the blockchain, the prior block comprising a first proof-of-space and a first proof-of-time; in response to accessing the first challenge, generating a second proof-of-space based on the first challenge and the amount of drive storage, the second proof-of-space indicating allocation of the amount of drive storage; accessing a second proof-of-time based on the prior block and indicating a first time delay elapsed after extension of the blockchain with the prior block; generating a new block comprising the second proof-of-space and the second proof-of-time; and broadcasting the new block over a distributed network.

    Abstract: One embodiment facilitates operation of non-volatile memory. During operation, the system determines, by a flash translation layer module, a physical block address associated with a first request which indicates data to be read, wherein the non-volatile memory is divided into separate physical zones, wherein the physical block address is associated with a first physical zone, and each separate physical zone has a dedicated application to read or write data thereto. The system obtains a free page frame in a volatile memory by writing data from a cold page in the volatile memory to a second physical zone, wherein a cold page is a page with a history of access which is less than a predetermined threshold. The system loads, based on the physical block address, data from the non-volatile memory to the free page frame. The system executes the request based on the data loaded into the free page frame.
