Abstract
A method for improving consensus in a blockchain network through sampling includes: executing, by a processor of a blockchain node in a blockchain network that manages a blockchain, a script to identify a first sample comprised of a subset of nodes of a plurality of nodes in the blockchain network, wherein nodes included in the subset of nodes are randomly selected; performing, by the subset of nodes comprising the first sample, a first consensus operation among all nodes in the subset of nodes to identify a sample consensus block for the blockchain, where each node in the subset of nodes receives the sample consensus block; and repeating, in the blockchain network, executing the script and performing the first consensus operation for a plurality of additional samples, wherein nodes included in the subset of nodes for each additional sample are randomly selected.
