Abstract
A method of synchronizing transactions between blockchains including receiving a first plurality of transactions on a first private blockchain network, recording the first plurality of transactions to a first private block on the first private blockchain network, receiving a second plurality of transactions on the first private blockchain network, recording the second plurality of transactions to a second private block on the first private blockchain network, generating a first merged block comprising the first and second private blocks, recording the first merged block to a single block on a second blockchain network, recording each of the first and second private blocks and the first merged block to a smart contract linked to the first private blockchain network, defining a first private smart contract, and performing a synchronization process between the first private smart contract and a second smart contract linked to the second blockchain network, defining a second smart contract.
