Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of identifying one or more attributes of a blockchain, determining the blockchain should be closed based on the one or more attributes, closing the blockchain, creating a new blockchain, identifying one or more assets from the blockchain, and creating a carry-over transaction based on the one or more assets of the blockchain.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- storing information indicating at least one lifecycle trigger for a blockchain;
- repeatedly controlling performance of an auditing operation of one or more attributes of the blockchain over time;
- mapping the one or more attributes of the blockchain to a decay model corresponding to the at least one lifestyle trigger after performance of each auditing operation, the decay model generates an indication of an expected change in relatedness of subject matter of transactions recorded in the blockchain, the expected change in relatedness based on statistical information corresponding to subject matter discussions occurring on a social network;
- determining the blockchain is to be closed based on a result of the mapping;
- closing the blockchain;
- creating a new blockchain;
- identifying one or more assets from the blockchain;
- and
- creating a carry-over transaction be recorded in the new blockchain based on the one or more assets of the blockchain.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- store information indicating at least one lifecycle trigger for a blockchain;
- repeatedly control performance of an auditing operation of one or more attributes of the blockchain over time;
- map the one or more attributes of the blockchain to a decay model corresponding to the at least one lifestyle trigger after performance of each auditing operation, the decay model generates an indication of an expected change in relatedness of subject matter of transactions recorded in the blockchain, the expected change in relatedness based on statistical information corresponding to subject matter discussions occurring on a social network;
- determine the blockchain is to be closed based on a result of the map;
- close the blockchain;
- create a new blockchain;
- identify one or more assets from the blockchain;
- and
- create a carry-over transaction to be recorded in the new blockchain based on the one or more assets of the blockchain.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed causes a processor to processor to perform:
- storing information indicating at least one lifecycle trigger for a blockchain;
- repeatedly controlling performance of an auditing operation of one or more attributes of the blockchain over time;
- mapping the one or more attributes of the blockchain to a decay model corresponding to the at least one lifestyle trigger after performance of each auditing operation, the decay model generates an indication of an expected change in relatedness of subject matter of transactions recorded in the blockchain, the expected change in relatedness based on statistical information corresponding to subject matter discussions occurring on a social network;
- determining the blockchain is to be closed based on a result of the mapping;
- closing the blockchain;
- creating a new blockchain;
- identifying one or more assets from the blockchain;
- and
- creating a carry-over transaction to be recorded in the new blockchain based on the one or more assets of the blockchain.
