Systems and methods for providing a decentralized processing network

A decentralized processing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more non-transitory memories in communication with the one or more processors storing instructions thereon that when executed by the one or more processors are configured to cause the decentralized processing system to:
• identify zero or more cryptographic commitments to evolve a state of a blockchain from a previous state to a subsequent state recorded in one or more blocks of the blockchain;
• receive an indication to update the state of the blockchain from the previous state to the subsequent state;
• in response to the indication, transmit, to a decentralized consensus network remote from the decentralized processing system, instructions for the decentralized consensus network to compute a subsequent state based on (i) the previous state and (ii) commitments recorded in one or more blocks of the blockchain;
• receive, from the decentralized consensus network, a first cryptographic hash associated with a data structure, the first cryptographic hash determined by the decentralized consensus network based on the computed subsequent state;
• receive, from an implementation keeper a series of data entries associated with the data structure and one or more complementary hashes for each data entry of the series of data entries;
• compute, for each of the series of data entries, a second cryptographic hash;
• for each of the series of data entries, determine that the second cryptographic hash matches the first cryptographic hash;
• and
• execute instructions contained within the series of data entries to evolve the state of the blockchain from the previous state to the subsequent state.

• receive, from the decentralized consensus network, a first Merkle tree root hash associated with a Merkle tree, the first Merkle tree root hash determined by the decentralized consensus network based on the computed subsequent state;
• receive, from an implementation keeper a series of Merkle tree leaves associated with the Merkle tree and a plurality of hashes corresponding to complementary branches of the Merkle tree associated with a root to leaf path for each of the series of Merkle tree leaves from an implementation keeper;
• compute, for each of the series of Merkle tree leaves using the plurality of hashes, a second Merkle tree root hash;
• for each of the series of Merkle tree leaves, using the plurality of hashes, determine that the second Merkle tree root hash matches the first Merkle tree root hash;
• and
• execute instructions contained within each of the Merkle tree leaves to evolve the state of the blockchain from the previous state to the subsequent state.
