Back-up sentinel network for a blockchain distribution network

摘要

A peer node in a blockchain distribution network includes a processor configured to generate a blockchain, where the blockchain includes information regarding a plurality of transactions. The processor is also configured to determine that the peer node is being discriminated against with respect to blockchain transmissions by one or more central servers of the blockchain distribution network. The processor is further configured to determine, based at least in part on the determination that the peer node is being discriminated against, that one or more servers in a sentinel network are to be used for blockchain transmissions instead of the one or more central servers. The peer node further comprises a transceiver operatively coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the blockchain through the sentinel network.
