Method for enabling efficient evaluation of transactions in a distributed ledger network

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a node in a distributed ledger network for transaction evaluation to perform operations comprising:

• determining dependencies between a plurality of transactions of the distributed ledger network, wherein each transaction of a subset of the plurality of transactions includes an input parameter including indicators of first states of first addresses in the distributed ledger network that are to be used as inputs to the transaction and an output parameter including zero or more second addresses whose respective zero or more second states are modified by the transaction;
• and
• evaluating the plurality of transactions based on the dependencies, wherein the evaluating includes:
• responsive to determining that a first transaction of the plurality of transaction and a second transaction of the plurality of transactions are independent from one another, evaluating the first and the second transactions in parallel, and
• responsive to determining that the first transaction and the second transaction are not independent from one another, evaluating the first transaction and the second transaction sequentially.

A node in a distributed ledger network for transaction evaluation, the node comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium storing a set of computer readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the node to:
• determine dependencies between a plurality of transactions of the distributed ledger network, wherein each transaction of a subset of the plurality of transactions includes an input parameter including indicators of first states of first addresses in the distributed ledger network that are to be used as inputs to the transaction and an output parameter including zero or more second addresses whose respective zero or more second states are modified by the transaction;
• and
• evaluate the plurality of transactions based on the dependencies, wherein to evaluate includes:
• responsive to determining that a first transaction of the plurality of transaction and a second transaction of the plurality of transactions are independent from one another, evaluate the first and the second transactions in parallel, and
• responsive to determining that the first transaction and the second transaction are not independent from one another, evaluate the first transaction and the second transaction sequentially.
