  • Method for scaling computation in blockchain by delaying transaction execution
    Patent number: 11423016
    Abstract: Accordingly, embodiment herein disclose a method for handling block chain operation in a block chain system. The method includes parallelizing, by the block chain system, a block creation along with a consensus mechanism. The block creation along with the consensus mechanism includes parallelly combining a pre-computed state of a succeeding block (at height “k” greater than the current block, where “k” is a positive integer parameter chosen by the system designer) with transactions in a current block to obtain state to be stored in a next succeeding block (at height “k+1” greater than the current block) along with running a consensus protocol to finalize transactions to include in an immediate next block (at height one greater than the current block). Further, the method includes handling, by the block chain system, the block chain operation based on parallelizing. The method can be used for scaling up computation in blockchains.
