Zusammenfassung:A system can correct or avoid an unexpected result caused by executing a smart contract. The system can detect a potential/actual result generated based on a primary smart contract, which is stored in association with a block of a blockchain and is configured to execute when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The system can determine that the potential/actual result deviates from an expected result and, in response, retrieve a secondary smart contract from a repository. The secondary smart contract is selected to prevent the unexpected result in the future. The system can store the secondary smart contract retrieved from the repository in association with a subsequent block of the blockchain. The primary smart contract and the secondary smart contract are then configured to execute in concert when the predetermined condition is satisfied such that the expected result is produced instead of the unexpected result.
