Patent attributes
In an embodiment, a method comprises performing a first synchronization operation for a blockchain node of a plurality of blockchain nodes of a blockchain network, the first synchronization operation comprising the blockchain node receiving blockchain history data from one or more blockchain nodes of the plurality of blockchain nodes of the blockchain network and storing the blockchain history data in one or more digital data repositories; determining that the blockchain history data satisfies one or more validation criteria; creating a new blockchain node of the blockchain network, the new blockchain node configured to retrieve the blockchain history data from the one or more digital data repositories and replicate the blockchain history data for the new blockchain node, the new blockchain node existing in an unsynchronized state; performing a second synchronization operation for the new blockchain node of the blockchain network, the second synchronization operation comprising the new blockchain node receiving blockchain update data from one or more blockchain nodes of the plurality of blockchain nodes of the blockchain network resulting in converting the new blockchain node to a synchronized state.
