Abstract
A mechanism for managing a decentralized application functioning within an application shard in a decentralized network includes an access control mechanism and a resource control mechanism. The access control mechanism includes access logic that determines if a request to submit a transaction for execution by the decentralized application is valid. The request is received from an originator through the decentralized application. The resource control mechanism is called when a request is determined by the access control mechanism to be a valid request. The resource control mechanism includes resource logic that determines if a criterion is satisfied. The criterion may include one or more of a first criterion associated with the originator and a second criterion associated with the application shard. The resource control mechanism further includes forwarding logic that initiates a forwarding of the validated request to the application shard if the criterion is satisfied.
