Abstract
Various embodiments relate to a method for accelerating blockchains, the method comprising the steps of waiting for an event to occur, receiving a block, determining whether the block is valid, adding the block to a block tree, determining whether the block is a singular candidate, starting a timer for the block, determining whether the timer has expired for the block, determining whether the block is still singular after the time has expired for the block and processing the singular block.
