Distributed platform for computation and trusted validation

A method comprising:

• obtaining data of a simulation;
• identifying checkpoints within the simulation data;
• generating a plurality of sequential data structures based on the identified checkpoints, where each data structure identifies an evolving state of the simulation with respect to a previous data structure among the sequential data structures;
• and
• transmitting the generated sequential data structures to nodes of a blockchain network for inclusion in one or more data blocks within a hash-linked chain of data blocks.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining data of a simulation;
• identifying checkpoints within the simulation data;
• generating a plurality of sequential data structures based on the identified checkpoints, where each data structure identifies an evolving state of the simulation with respect to a previous data structure among the sequential data structures;
• and
• transmitting the generated sequential data structures to nodes of a blockchain network for inclusion in one or more data blocks within a hash-linked chain of data blocks.

A computing system comprising:

• a network interface configured to receive a data structure from among sequential data structures of an iterative simulation that store state data of the iterative simulation;
• and
• a processor configured to generate a local computation of state data for the data structure based on previously validated state data from a previous data structure, and determine a similarity between the local computation of state data and the state data within the received data structure,
• wherein, in response to a determination that the similarity is within a predetermined threshold, the processor is further configured to control the network interface to transmit an endorsement of the data structure to a blockchain network for inclusion within a data block among a hash-linked chain of data blocks.
