Abstract
A system may provide hardware acceleration for corrective blockchain-based record entry. Blockchain management circuitry (BMC) may receive a correction to a record entry. The BMC may access a consensus operating procedure. The BMC may apply the consensus operating procedure to the record entry to determine a corrective indicator. After completing the consensus operating procedure, the BMC may append a corrective block generated based on the record entry and corrective indicator to the blockchain. Accordingly, the system may ensure that corrective blocks added to the blockchain were generated in compliance with the consensus operating procedure.
