Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for request approval using blockchain technology are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes initiating creation of a blockchain network comprising multiple devices corresponding to required sub-requests configured for a particular request for approval transaction; implementing, at a given one of the devices, a distinct block in the blockchain network, wherein the block comprises cryptographic information pertaining to the particular request for approval transaction, a decision value for one or more of the sub-requests, and a count of the cryptographic tokens remaining in the blockchain network; broadcasting, from the given device to the remaining devices, information pertaining to the block; removing at least one cryptographic tokens from the blockchain network in response to each implemented block that corresponds to approval of a required sub-request; and granting the particular request in response to removal of all of the cryptographic tokens from the blockchain network.
