RESILIENT HIGH-BANDWIDTH STATE-TRANSITION COMPUTER

An action involving at least an initiating entity and other affected entities is processed in parts by at least two distributed computing sub-systems associated respectively with the entities, in which the first part in processing the action includes each of a plurality of validator nodes, in one of the computing sub-system associated with the initiating entity, independently validating/processing/recording the request at the initiating side, the second part includes the validator nodes of the initiating entity sending triggering messages to the computing sub-system/s associated with the other entities, and the third part includes each of a plurality of validator nodes, in the computing subsystem/s associated with the other involved entities, independently receiving the messages, and consequently processing and recording the request at all affected sides, thereby implementing a resilient high bandwidth state-transition computer. Consensus mechanisms are used to ensure state-coherence in conjunction with changing states across the distributed computing sub-systems.
