ABSTRACT

Assuming persistent on-chain storage of humanoid sensor streams (2.77 TPS) and daily 10 GB model artifacts, this study conducts simulation-based performance comparisons of Ethereum (PoA) and IOTA Tangle in private network environments. The results show that Ethereum’s block-gas limit restricts sustained write throughput to only a few KB/s, and large objects suffer linearly increasing latency proportional to the number of chunks, reaching several hours in extreme cases. In contrast, IOTA leverages MPS scheduling and DAG-based concurrency so that, under the same workload, throughput is primarily bounded by network bandwidth (100 Mbps) while confirmation latency remains nearly constant (under a few seconds). Taken together, these findings indicate that IOTA is technically suitable as the storage layer in humanoid-robot environments, whereas Ethereum is better confined to an auxiliary layer for control, settlement, and governance logic.
