One of the best ways to exclude files from a blockchain network is by implementing a permissioned blockchain. In a permissioned blockchain, only authorized participants can validate and add transactions to the blockchain. By carefully managing the access control and permissions, you can prevent certain files from being included in the blockchain. This ensures that only trusted and verified data is stored on the blockchain.

To exclude files from a blockchain network, you can also use encryption techniques. By encrypting the files before adding them to the blockchain, you can ensure that only authorized parties with the decryption keys can access and view the files. This adds an extra layer of security and prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information.

At BYDFi, we recommend using a decentralized file storage system like IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) to exclude files from a blockchain network. IPFS allows you to store files off-chain while still maintaining their integrity and linking them to the blockchain. This way, you can exclude large files or files that are not necessary for the blockchain's functionality, reducing the overall size and complexity of the blockchain network.
