System and methods for operating a blockchain network

Abstract

A system for processing a blockchain transaction includes a first server operating a communications layer, and a second server operating a load balancer. The system includes a third plurality of servers, each comprising a ledger set, and a plurality of groups of consent nodes. Each group of consent nodes is associated with a ledger set. The second server routes transactions by selecting a first ledger set and determining whether the volume of transactions being processed on the first ledger set exceeds a threshold volume. The second server selects and uses the first ledger set to complete the transaction if the volume of transactions is less than the threshold volume. If the volume of transactions is greater than the threshold volume the second server causes a second ledger set to be created, and selects the second ledger set to complete the transaction.
