Abstract
Operating conditions of a blockchain configuration may be dynamic and change automatically under certain circumstances. One example method of operation may include one or more of identifying an existing consensus procedure used in an existing blockchain configuration, identifying current metrics associated with the existing blockchain configuration, comparing the current metrics to predefined rules, identifying one or more deviations based on the current metrics being compared to the predefined rules, and changing the existing consensus procedure to a next consensus procedure for a subsequent block in the existing blockchain configuration responsive to identifying the one or more deviations.
