Scalable, secure, efficient, and adaptable distributed digital ledger transaction network

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device to:

• generate a first authenticated data structure for a first state of a distributed digital ledger transaction network upon execution of a first block of transactions;
• generate a second authenticated data structure for a second state contiguous to the first state upon execution of a second block of transactions;
• generate a third authenticated data structure for a third state contiguous to the second state upon execution of a third block of transactions;
• and
• in response to obtaining consensus on the first authenticated data structure, the second authenticated data structure, and the third authenticated data structure via the distributed digital ledger transaction network, commit the first authenticated data structure to memory.

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• generate a first authenticated data structure for a first state of a distributed digital ledger transaction network upon execution of a first block of transactions;
• generate a second authenticated data structure for a second state contiguous to the first state upon execution of a second block of transactions;
• generate a third authenticated data structure for a third state contiguous to the second state upon execution of a third block of transactions;
• and
• in response to obtaining consensus on the first authenticated data structure, the second authenticated data structure, and the third authenticated data structure via the distributed digital ledger transaction network, commit the first authenticated data structure to memory.
