Abstract

Disclosed embodiments include a server included in a network. The server is operable to determine a next block signer in a blockchain. The server includes processor(s) and memory containing instructions executable by the processor(s). As such, the server is operable to receive bids from nodes of the network and to select a bid from the received bids. The selected bid is provided by a node from the nodes of the network. The server is further operable to grant a right to sign a next block in a blockchain to the node that provided the selected bid.
