Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of receiving a request to commit a blockchain request to a hash-linked chain of blocks stored on a distributed ledger, extracting governance policies which are encoded within a data block of the hash-linked chain of blocks on the distributed ledger, determining if the blockchain request satisfies the extracted governance policies of the hash-linked chain of blocks on the distributed ledger, and in response to the blockchain request satisfying the extracted governance policies, executing the blockchain request and storing the executed blockchain request within another data block of the hash-linked chain of data blocks on the distributed ledger.
