  • Publication number: 20240340189
    Abstract: An object is to efficiently improve fairness between nodes in a blockchain network. The information processing device as the node 3 of the present invention receives a request for adding an Inbound adjacent node from a predetermined requestor node, and does not select the requestor node 2b as an Inbound adjacent node in a case where a region to which the predetermined requestor node belongs is different from the specific region A3 to which the information processing device belongs and the predetermined value n11 of nodes belonging to a region different from the specific region A3 that can be selected as Inbound adjacent nodes has been reached. This produces an effect that it is possible to efficiently improve fairness between nodes in the blockchain network 1.
