 As a result of this, the maximum block size can be made much larger and it's possible to increase the transaction bandwidth significantly without having to worry about blockchain bloating.

+'''Advantages of the mini-blockchain scheme'''
-== Getting started ==
+By replacing the full blockchain with a [[mini-blockchain]] and by using a self-contained balance sheet system (the [[account tree]]) for tracking the balance of non-empty addresses, it's possible to eliminate the need for storing long term historical transaction data and it provides an optimal level of compression, resulting in consistently fast [[network synchronization]] speeds.
