A system may provide hardware acceleration for corrective blockchain-based record entry. Blockchain management circuitry (BMC) may receive a correction to a record entry. The BMC may access a consensus operating procedure. The BMC may apply the consensus operating procedure to the record entry to determine a corrective indicator. After completing the consensus operating procedure, the BMC may append a corrective block generated based on the record entry and corrective indicator to the blockchain. Accordingly, the system may ensure that corrective blocks added to the blockchain were generated in compliance with the consensus operating procedure.
Claim CLM-00001. 1. A method comprising:
in a record entry hardware system:
determining, at blockchain management circuitry (BMC), a correction for a previous record entry stored within a blockchain, the correction comprising changing an original transaction date for the previous record entry to a corrected transaction date;accessing, in memory within the BMC, an identifier of a consensus operating procedure,selecting the consensus operating procedure responsive to the blockchain, the consensus operating procedure detailing a rule for application to block content prior to appending blocks to the blockchain;obtaining a previous accumulated value stored within a selected block of the blockchain and generated without the correction;applying the consensus operating procedure to generate a corrected accumulated value from the previous accumulated value,
where the applying comprises performing a processor-level operation using the correction and the previous record entry as inputs; andgenerating a corrective indicator comprising:
a reference to the previous accumulated value and the selected block, andthe corrected accumulated value; andgenerating a hash value using content of a previous block in the blockchain;after complying with the consensus operating procedure, generating a corrective block for the blockchain,
the generating the corrective block responsive to the corrective indicator and the hash value generated using the content of the previous block in the blockchain;designating a period of review between the original transaction date and the corrected transaction date;marking, for review, a specific block storing a specific record entry with an affected transaction date during the period of review.
