Abstract

Blockchain networks face persistent scalability challenges, including network congestion, high latency, and transaction costs. To address these limitations, this study proposes an AI-driven hub location optimization framework that integrates reinforcement learning (RL), mixed integer linear programming (MILP), and graph neural networks (GNNs). The RL-based hub selection dynamically identifies optimal supernode placement, while MILP ensures cost-efficient transaction routing, and GNNs predict flow patterns for proactive congestion management. Experimental results on Ethereum and Bitcoin datasets demonstrate significant improvements, including a 58.6% reduction in transaction latency, 28.9% gas fee savings, and 41.5% congestion reduction. Beyond performance gains, statistical tests confirm the significance of these improvements, and ablation studies highlight the complementary role of each component.
