Decentralized ledger system and method for enterprises

A method for improving data flow and data security in an existing wireless communications network comprising a central node and a plurality of remote nodes, during band-width-limiting conditions, the method, comprising:

• generating, by a processor at the central node, a hybrid network overlay to the existing wireless communications network, the hybrid network overlay comprising a remote overlay node for each remote node and a central overly node for the central node;
• and
• maintaining a distributed ledger having a blockchain architecture, the distributed ledger comprising data transmitted among the central node and the remote nodes, comprising designating remote nodes as super nodes comprising using a link sensing mechanism and remote node processing characteristics to identify remote nodes having links with sufficient bandwidth and sufficient processing capacity to aggregate transactions and validate blocks, each super node participating in a block validation process using the hybrid network overlay.

A system, implemented in an existing wireless communications network comprising a central node and a plurality of external nodes, for improving data flow and data security during band-width-limiting conditions, the system, comprising:

• a non-transient computer-readable storage medium having encoded hereon, machine instructions for implementing the system, wherein a central processor implemented at the central node executes the machine instructions to:
• generate a hybrid network overlay to the communications network, the hybrid network overlay comprising an overlay node for each remote node and a central overly node for the central node, and
• maintain a distributed ledger having a blockchain architecture, the distributed ledger comprising data transmitted among the central node and the remote nodes, wherein the central processor designates one or more remote nodes as super nodes comprising using a link sensing mechanism and remote node processing characteristics to identify remote nodes having links with sufficient bandwidth and sufficient processing capacity to aggregate transactions and validate blocks, each super node participating in a block validation process using the hybrid network overlay.
