Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of signing a blockchain transaction by an endorsement peer member of a blockchain, transmitting the blockchain transaction to an ordering service, identifying a blockchain transaction queue length, and receiving a signed promise from the ordering service that the blockchain transaction will be included in an identified block number based on the blockchain transaction queue length.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- signing a blockchain transaction by an endorsement peer member of a blockchain;
- transmitting the blockchain transaction to an ordering service;
- identifying a blockchain transaction queue length;
- and
- receiving a signed promise from the ordering service that the blockchain transaction will be included in an identified block number based on the blockchain transaction queue length.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to
- sign a blockchain transaction by an endorsement peer member of a blockchain;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the blockchain transaction to an ordering service;
- wherein the processor is further configured to identify a blockchain transaction queue length;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive a signed promise from the ordering service that the blockchain transaction will be included in an identified block number based on the blockchain transaction queue length.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- signing a blockchain transaction by an endorsement peer member of a blockchain;
- transmitting the blockchain transaction to an ordering service;
- identifying a blockchain transaction queue length;
- and
- receiving a signed promise from the ordering service that the blockchain transaction will be included in an identified block number based on the blockchain transaction queue length.
