Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of identifying blockchain transactions for a particular blockchain, identifying blockchain transaction metrics from the blockchain transactions, determining whether the blockchain transaction metrics require a change to current blockchain operating rules, and when the blockchain transaction metrics require the change to the current blockchain operating rules, modifying the current blockchain operating rules.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- identifying a plurality of blockchain transactions for a particular blockchain;
- identifying one or more blockchain transaction metrics from the plurality of blockchain transactions;
- determining whether the one or more blockchain transaction metrics require a change to one or more current blockchain operating rules;
- and
- when the one or more blockchain transaction metrics require the change to the one or more current blockchain operating rules, modifying the one or more current blockchain operating rules.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to
- identify a plurality of blockchain transactions for a particular blockchain;
- identify one or more blockchain transaction metrics from the plurality of blockchain transactions;
- determine whether the one or more blockchain transaction metrics require a change to one or more current blockchain operating rules;
- and
- when the one or more blockchain transaction metrics require the change to the one or more current blockchain operating rules, modify the one or more current blockchain operating rules.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium being configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- identifying a plurality of blockchain transactions for a particular blockchain;
- identifying one or more blockchain transaction metrics from the plurality of blockchain transactions;
- determining whether the one or more blockchain transaction metrics require a change to one or more current blockchain operating rules;
- and
- when the one or more blockchain transaction metrics require the change to the one or more current blockchain operating rules, modifying the one or more current blockchain operating rules.
