Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium is provided for creating a blockchain instance and aligning the instance blockchain to a generic blockchain for tracking a multi-step process. Aspects of the invention comprise performing by a blockchain system: accessing data for the creation of a block in a blockchain instance; comparing said data with data associated with a block in a generic blockchain; and for each block in the generic blockchain where the data in the block corresponds to the accessed data, creating a block in the blockchain instance for the accessed data; and performing an alignment operation to indicate that the created block is equivalent to the block in the generic blockchain.
