Triggering actions responsive to blockchain transactions
A blockchain may store transactions for various purposes which may be later accessed by interested parties for ledger verification. One example method of operation may comprise one or more of receiving a blockchain transaction, identifying a proof-of-work is generated for the blockchain transaction via a network entity, transmitting the proof-of-work and a select portion of ledger data to a registered third party via an encrypted message based on a third party key, validating the proof-of-work via the third party, and providing a reward to the network entity.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a blockchain transaction from an originating party;
identifying a third-party advertising service to sponsor the blockchain transaction based on content included in the blockchain transaction;
executing a series of steps to solve a cryptographic puzzle while mining the blockchain transaction to a blockchain ledger of a blockchain network;
creating a proof-of-work of the steps executed to solve the cryptographic puzzle, wherein the proof-of-work identifies the third-party advertising service for issuing a reward;
transmitting the proof-of-work of the steps executed to solve the cryptographic puzzle and a portion of the blockchain ledger data of the mining operation to the third-party advertising service via an encrypted message;
receiving, from the third-party advertising service, a notification indicating that the third-party advertising service will pay the reward once the blockchain transaction has been successfully added to the blockchain ledger, wherein the notification is signed based on a third-party public key assigned to the third-party advertising service by the blockchain network;
validating the notification based on the third-party public key;
storing a block including the blockchain transaction and the validated notification from the third-party advertising service on the blockchain ledger; and
displaying the notification via a display device of the originating party after the blockchain transaction is stored on the blockchain ledger.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reward is based on the proof-of-work performed.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the proof-of-work comprises proof of attempts to solve the cryptographic puzzle.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising amending a ledger entry in the blockchain ledger with the notification.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing, on the blockchain ledger, advertising content provided by the third-party advertising service while mining the blockchain transaction.
6. An apparatus, comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a blockchain transaction from an originating party; and
a processor configured to:
identify a third-party advertising service to sponsor the blockchain transaction based on content included in the blockchain transaction;
execute a series of steps to solve a cryptographic puzzle while mining the blockchain transaction to a blockchain ledger of a blockchain network;
create a proof-of-work of the steps executed to solve the cryptographic puzzle, wherein the proof-of-work identifies the third-party advertising service for issuing a reward;
transmit the proof-of-work of the steps executed to solve the cryptographic puzzle and a portion of the blockchain ledger data of the mining operation to the third-party advertising service via an encrypted message;
receive, from the third-party advertising service, a notification indicating that the third-party advertising service will pay the reward once the blockchain transaction has been successfully added to the blockchain ledger, wherein the notification is signed based on a third-party public key assigned to the third-party advertising service by the blockchain network;
validate the notification based on the third-party public key;
store a block including the blockchain transaction and the validated notification from the third-party advertising service on the blockchain ledger; and
display the notification via a display device of the originating party after the blockchain transaction is stored on the blockchain ledger.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the reward is based on the proof-of-work performed.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the proof-of-work comprises proof of attempts to solve the cryptographic puzzle.
9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
receiving a blockchain transaction from an originating party;
identifying a third-party advertising service to sponsor the blockchain transaction based on content included in the blockchain transaction;
executing a series of steps to solve a cryptographic puzzle while mining the blockchain transaction to a blockchain ledger of a blockchain network;
creating a proof-of-work of the steps executed to solve the cryptographic puzzle, wherein the proof-of-work identifies the third-party advertising service for issuing a reward;
transmitting the proof-of-work of the steps executed to solve the cryptographic puzzle and a portion of blockchain ledger data of the mining operation to the third-party advertising service via an encrypted message;
receiving, from the third-party advertising service, a notification indicating that the third-party advertising service will pay the reward once the blockchain transaction has been successfully added to the blockchain ledger, wherein the notification is signed with a third-party public key assigned to the third-party advertising service by the blockchain network;
validating the notification based on the third-party public key;
storing a block including the blockchain transaction and the notification from the third-party advertising service on the blockchain ledger; and
displaying the notification via a display device of the originating party after the blockchain transaction is stored on the blockchain ledger.
10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the reward is based on the proof-of-work performed.
11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the proof-of-work comprises proof of attempts to solve the cryptographic puzzle.
