Abstract
A method for performing a blockchain operation includes receiving an indication of a number of a plurality of endpoints in a processing network. The method further includes assigning nonce offsets to each endpoint of the plurality of endpoints and assigning communication randomization windows to each endpoint of the plurality of endpoints. The communication randomization windows stagger communication windows of the endpoints to a head-end. Additionally, the method includes sending a message to each of the endpoints indicating an operation to perform and an expected result. Further, the method includes receiving a success indication from a first endpoint of the plurality of endpoints. The success indication including a nonce match value from the nonce offset of the first endpoint. Furthermore, the method includes verifying a nonce match value with the expected result.
