Abstract
A method for using shareable and nested transaction on hash chains includes storing transaction data of a transaction of a hash chain. A lock block is appended to the hash chain. Appending the lock block includes setting a tail block identifier of the hash chain from a preceding tail block of a preceding transaction to the lock block. A data block is appended to the hash chain. Appending the data block includes setting the tail block identifier of the hash chain to the data block. The method further includes removing the transaction data from the transaction without invalidating the hash chain. The method further includes appending an updated data block to the hash chain to update the transaction with updated transaction data.
