Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of receiving a request to modify a governance policy of a blockchain, identifying a principal identity that controls the governance policy, determining an allowable combination of signatures of the principal identity required for modifying the governance policy based on a graph data structure storing signature policies for endorsing modifications to governance policies, and modifying the governance policy of the blockchain based on the request in response to an allowable combination of signatures being received.
