Abstract: A system and method for reducing blockchain transaction delay are disclosed. The system consists of a trusted coin wallet framework that implements a trusted execution environment to initiate currency transactions between two clients. The trusted coin wallet framework includes an API proxy and a trusted shadow wallet. The method used by the trusted coin wallet framework involves interaction between the trusted shadow wallet and a peer trusted wallet owned by the other client, via the API proxy, from within the trusted execution environment. During these operations, the blockchain infrastructure is independently validating the transaction.
