ON-CHAIN FEES IN A BLOCKCHAIN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

1 . A system for implementing payments in a blockchain distribution network, wherein the system comprises:

a first peer node that includes a first processor configured to:

generate a blockchain that includes information regarding a plurality of transactions, wherein the plurality of transactions includes a plurality of fee transactions that each result in a payment to the blockchain distribution network;

for each of the plurality of fee transactions, generate payment details to facilitate the payment to the blockchain distribution network; and

associate the payment details with each of the plurality of fee transactions; and

a first transceiver of the first peer node operatively coupled to the first processor and configured to transmit the blockchain for distribution throughout the blockchain distribution network.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of transactions includes a plurality of no fee transactions that result in no payment to the blockchain distribution network.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the first processor is configured to ensure that a percentage of fee transactions included in the blockchain satisfies a designated percentage of a total number of transactions included in the blockchain.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the designated percentage of fee transactions to be included in the blockchain is between 60% and 80%.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the payment details include an amount of the payment to the blockchain distribution network.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the amount of the payment comprises a percentage of a miner fee associated with a given transaction.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the percentage of the miner fee is between 5% and 15%.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the payment details of a given transaction include specification of a public address associated with the blockchain distribution network as a payee for the given transaction.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the information regarding the plurality of transactions includes transaction identifiers that map to transactions and their payment details, wherein the transaction identifiers are used to reduce a size of the blockchain.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of transactions further includes a plurality of no identifier (ID) transactions, wherein the no ID transactions are not associated with a transaction identifier.

11 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a second peer node that includes:

a second transceiver configured to receive the blockchain; and

a second processor operatively coupled to the second transceiver and configured to determine whether a designated percentage of a total number of transactions included in the blockchain are fee transactions.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the second processor is configured to reject the blockchain as invalid responsive to a determination that the designated percentage of fee transactions in the blockchain is not satisfied.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the second transceiver receives the blockchain directly from the first peer node.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the second transceiver receives the blockchain from a server of the blockchain distribution network.

15 . A method for implementing payments in a blockchain distribution network, the method comprising:

generating, by a first processor of a first peer node, a blockchain that includes information regarding a plurality of transactions, wherein the plurality of transactions includes a plurality of fee transactions that each result in a payment to the blockchain distribution network;

generating, by the first processor and for each of the plurality of fee transactions, payment details to facilitate the payment to the blockchain distribution network;

associating, by the first processor, the payment details with each of the plurality of fee transactions; and

transmitting, by a first transceiver of the first peer node operatively coupled to the first processor, the blockchain for distribution throughout the blockchain distribution network.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising ensuring, by the first processor, that a percentage of fee transactions included in the blockchain satisfies a designated percentage of a total number of transactions included in the blockchain.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein generating the payment details comprises determining an amount of the payment to the blockchain distribution network for a given transaction, and wherein the amount of the payment comprises a percentage of a miner fee associated with the given transaction.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein generating the payment details comprises specifying a public address associated with the blockchain distribution network as a payee for each of the plurality of fee transactions.

19 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving the blockchain by a second transceiver of a second peer node; and

determining, by a second processor of the second peer node operatively coupled to the second transceiver, whether a designated percentage of a total number of transactions included in the blockchain are fee transactions.

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising rejecting, by the second processor, the blockchain as invalid responsive to a determination that the designated percentage of fee transactions included in the blockchain is not satisfied.
