Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium is provided for creating first and second blockchain instances, each comprising representative blocks corresponding to steps in first and second multistep processes, respectively; performing a linking operation to link a block in the first blockchain instance to a block in the second blockchain instance; receiving change evidence data pertaining to steps in one of the first and second multi-step processes; and performing an update operation comprising updating one of the first and second blockchain instances based on said change evidence data.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- configuring a blockchain system to track a multi-step process through to completion;
- configuring a trust escrow engine to selectively release an effort needed to satisfy a modification to the blockchain system based on trust;
- and
- making the modification to the blockchain system if the effort is released.
A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to perform:
- configuring a blockchain system to track a multi-step process through to completion;
- configuring a trust escrow engine to selectively release an effort needed to satisfy a modification to the blockchain system based on trust;
- and
- making the modification to the blockchain system if the effort is released.
A non-transitory computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code configured to perform:
- configuring a blockchain system to track a multi-step process through to completion;
- configuring a trust escrow engine to selectively release an effort needed to satisfy a modification to the blockchain system based on trust;
- and
- making the modification to the blockchain system if the effort is released.
