In this paper we present Rollerchain, a novel Distributed Hash Table that o↵ers e cient data storage through the combination of gossip-based and structured overlay networks. The unstructured component maintains clusters of fully connected nodes, where each cluster acts as a virtual node in the structured component. This architecture simplifies the management of data replication and balances the load among nodes in the system. We have implemented a prototype of Rollerchain that we have used to experimentally validate its performance against other state of the art solutions.
