Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of identifying a plurality of instances of a blockchain storage request that have been independently submitted by a plurality of clients, respectively, verifying whether execution content of the plurality of instances of the blockchain storage request match, and in response to verifying the match, storing the blockchain storage request within a block among a hash-linked chain of blocks.

Claims (30)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

execute a plurality of blockchain transactions that have been independently submitted by a plurality of clients, respectively, against a current state of a blockchain ledger,

verify whether respective execution content generated by executing each of the plurality of blockchain transactions is a match with each other, and

in response to a verification of the match, commit a blockchain transaction that corresponds to the plurality of blockchain transactions which includes the respective execution content that matches within a block on the blockchain ledger.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to identify the plurality of blockchain transactions from a queue.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to identify the plurality of blockchain transactions based on a common identifier within the plurality of blockchain transactions.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to identify the plurality of blockchain transactions based on a common hash value within the plurality of blockchain transactions.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the respective execution content comprises a hash value of the execution content that is generated by hashing the execution results, and the processor is configured to determine whether a respective hash value of the execution results of each of the plurality of blockchain transactions is identical.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to store one entry that corresponds to the plurality of blockchain transactions within the block.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to verify that the plurality of blockchain transactions have been submitted by enough clients to satisfy a minimum threshold of client submissions.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, in response to a verification that the execution content does not match, the processor is further configured to prevent the plurality of blockchain transactions from storage within the block.

9. A method comprising:

executing a plurality of blockchain transactions that have been independently submitted by a plurality of clients, respectively, against a current state of a blockchain ledger;

verifying whether respective execution content generated by executing the plurality of blockchain transactions is a match with each other; and

in response to verifying the match, commit a blockchain transaction that corresponds to the plurality of blockchain transactions which includes the respective execution content that matches within a block among a hash-linked chain on the blockchain ledger.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the identifying comprises identifying the plurality of blockchain transactions from a queue.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the identifying comprises identifying the plurality of blockchain transactions based on a common identifier within the plurality of blockchain transactions.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the identifying comprises identifying the plurality of blockchain transactions based on a common hash value within the plurality of blockchain transactions.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the respective execution content comprises a hash value of the execution content that is generated by hashing the execution results, and the verifying comprises determining whether a respective hash value of the execution results of each of the plurality of blockchain transactions is identical to each other.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the storing comprises storing one entry corresponding to the blockchain transactions within the block.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the verifying further comprises verifying that the plurality of blockchain transactions have been submitted by enough clients to satisfy a minimum threshold of client submissions.

16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising, in response to a verification that the execution content does not match, preventing the plurality of blockchain transactions from storage within the block.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

executing a plurality of blockchain transactions that have been independently submitted by a plurality of clients, respectively, against a current state of a blockchain ledger;

verifying whether respective execution content generated by executing the plurality of blockchain transactions is a match with each other; and

in response to verifying the match, commit a blockchain transaction that corresponds to the plurality of blockchain transactions which includes the respective execution content that matches within a block among a hash-linked chain on the blockchain ledger.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the identifying comprises identifying the plurality of blockchain transactions from a queue.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the identifying comprises identifying the plurality of blockchain transactions based on a common identifier within the plurality of blockchain transactions.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the verifying further comprises verifying that the plurality of blockchain transactions have been submitted by enough clients to satisfy a minimum threshold of client submissions.
