Abstract
There is provided a distributed computation system that establishes a consensus related to a computational value of a computational task, wherein the distributed computation system includes a plurality of computing nodes. The distributed computation system distributes the computational task to the plurality of computing nodes; each of a first set of computing nodes, from the plurality of computing nodes, performs a partial evaluation of the computational task, wherein the partial evaluations of the computational task are stored in a ledger arrangement; each of a second set of computing nodes from the plurality of computing nodes generate a computational value corresponding to each of the partial evaluations stored in the ledger arrangement and determine correctness proof of each of the computational value; and a third set of computing nodes from the plurality of computing nodes validates the correctness proof of each of the computational value to establish consensus related to the computational values.
