Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium is provided for creating a blockchain instance and aligning the instance blockchain to a generic blockchain for tracking a multi-step process. Aspects of the invention comprise performing by a blockchain system: accessing data for the creation of a block in a blockchain instance; comparing said data with data associated with a block in a generic blockchain; and for each block in the generic blockchain where the data in the block corresponds to the accessed data, creating a block in the blockchain instance for the accessed data; and performing an alignment operation to indicate that the created block is equivalent to the block in the generic blockchain.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium is provided for storing, in a blockchain system, at least one generic finite blockchain comprising representative blocks, each corresponding to at least one step in a multi-step process; dynamically generating at least one finite blockchain instance based on said at least one generic finite blockchain; receiving, by a processor, change evidence data pertaining to at least one step in said multi-step process; and performing an update operation comprising updating the at least one finite blockchain instance based on said change evidence data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for correlating and referencing blockchains are described herein. An example method may include providing a database configured to store at least one grid. The grid comprises positions referenced by coordinates. The method may include acquiring, by a processor communicatively coupled to the database, a plurality of blockchains. The method may further include mapping, by the processor, the blockchains to the positions within the grid. The method may include acquiring, by the processor, a subset of coordinates ({P}) corresponding to a subset of the positions within the grid and a set of specifications ({S}). The specifications include an instruction for selection of blocks of one or blockchains mapped to on or more position of the subset of the positions. The method may include associating a function F({P}, {S}) with a further position within the grid, wherein the function F ({P}, {S}) operates on contents of the selected blocks.
