  • Publication number: 20230088674
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for blockchain network congestion-adaptive handling of events relating to digital assets, including creation and transfer operations. A congestion metric is measured to determine current congestion of the blockchain network. If below a first threshold level, then digital asset request are implemented using blockchain transactions at layer 1 as they are received. If the metric is above the first threshold level, then the received requests are queued until a queue trigger is detected, whereupon the queued requests are processed at layer 2 and a batch blockchain transaction is used to implement the two or more requests by recording the updated state on chain. When the metric falls below a second threshold, the process reverts to using layer 1 blockchain transactions instead of queueing requests for layer 2 batch processing.
