  • Patent number: 11514443
    Abstract: Operation management with consistent policies and timings between nodes even in a situation where there are a plurality of administrators in the distributed ledger system is realized. In an operation management system 10 for a distributed ledger system 6 comprising a plurality of nodes, each of at least two or more predetermined nodes in the plurality of nodes manages an operation smart contract 372 for operation management of the distributed ledger system with a distributed ledger 37, when at least one node in the two or more predetermined nodes receives a transaction, the node which has received the transaction judges whether or not a type of the transaction is the operation smart contract 372, and, based on the judgment result, executes the operation smart contract 372.
