With the rapid expansion of data volume, traditional data storage methods have been unable to meet the practical application requirements of blockchain cloud storage. Aiming for the cloud storage problem of blockchain, a new storage access method for predicting dynamic file load is proposed. By predicting the load status of cloud storage files in advance, the load of each blockchain data node at the next moment is first estimated. A hierarchical genetic algorithm is used to construct the connection weights between the hidden layer and the output layer, which makes the data network converge faster and more accurate, thereby effectively predicting the node load. In addition, based on the file allocation, an evaluation analysis model is constructed to obtain the time response capability of each file during the allocation process. The node’s periodic load prediction value is used to calculate the corresponding weight of the node and it is continuously updated, retaining the advantages of the static weighted polling algorithm. Combined with the genetic algorithm to help predict the file assignment access strategy of the later load of each node, it can meet the system requirements under complex load conditions and provide a reasonable and effective cloud storage method. The experimental evaluation of the proposed new strategy and new algorithm verifies that the new storage method has a faster response time, more balanced load, and greatly reduced energy consumption.
