Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to implementation of a syntax for altering one or more rules by which a blockchain may be modified wherein the software implementing each client of a blockchain network are programmed to be responsive to requests or directives to alter one or more rules by which blocks may be added to a blockchain responsive to transactions received for storage therein, the requests/directives being processed by the client as a transaction and added to the block in accordance with the current state of the operating rules, thereby adding a new rule or modifying an existing rule for subsequent operation of the client.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for implementing a real time reconciling shared data structure is disclosed. The shared data structure may be stored in a memory, and a portion of the shared data structure may be coupled with a processor. The computer implemented method may be used for interacting with the shared data structure. The method may comprise the exchange of messages, requesting to change data in the shared data structure, between selected participants, wherein some of the participants must validate requested changes to the shared data. If all participants validate the requests to change data the changes to the data are made, and if less than all participants validate the requests then the changes are not made.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficiently permitting the transmission and receipt of trading messages between message sources configured to use a variety of different protocols. Messaging gateways may be configured to reformat messages for proper transmission across a transport mechanism. Routers may be dynamically partitioned so that manual reconfiguration is not required when sources and/or routers are added or deleted. The routers may be configured to route messages based on content to limit the amount of formatting required at message sources.
