Abstract
A method is disclosed including receiving a request for changing a privilege of a peer of the public blockchain network, in response to receiving the request for changing the privilege, automatically submitting a trust query to a trust verification entity, receiving from the trust verification entity, a trust score associated with the peer, comparing the received trust score to a pre-determined threshold, determining, based on the comparison, that the trust score is greater than the pre-determined threshold, in response to determining that the trust score is greater than the pre-determined threshold, automatically voting that the request be granted, receiving votes of other privileged peers of the public blockchain network, determining that a number of the votes for granting the request is sufficient to grant the request, and in response to determining that the number of votes is sufficient, automatically executing the requested changing of the privilege of the peer.
