Abstract
A blockchain of transactions may be referenced for various purposes and may be later accessed by interested parties for ledger verification. One example operation may comprise one or more of identifying an updated software build, creating a hash based on the updated software build, storing the hash of the updated software build in a blockchain, and storing a binary representation of the updated software build in a distributed hash table (DHT).
