A method for controlling participation in a blockchain based on time includes: storing participant profiles, each including a public key of a cryptographic key pair and a period of time; storing a blockchain comprised of a plurality of blocks, each including at a block header and data values; receiving a block submission from a specific computing system including a digital signature and a new data value; verifying the digital signature based on the public key stored in a specific participant profile related to the specific computing system; verifying that the specific computing system is eligible for participation in the blockchain based on the period of time included in the specific participant profile and a present time; generating a new block comprised of a block header and the new data value; and transmitting the generated new block to nodes associated with the blockchain.
A method for controlling participation of a plurality of participants being eligible to submit data related to a transaction to a blockchain network based on time using a processing server comprising a participant database, a verification module, a generation module, a receiving device, a transmission device, a hashing module and a memory, wherein each of the plurality of the participants is associated with one of a plurality of participant profiles stored in the participant database, the method comprising:
A system for controlling participation of a plurality of participants being eligible to submit data related to a transaction to a blockchain network based on time and each of the plurality of the participants is associated with one of a plurality of participant profiles stored in a participant database, the system comprising:
