Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A system comprising memory and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
receive a ledger entry request originating from a miner node computing entity associated with a miner node of a plurality of nodes, wherein (a) the ledger entry request is a request to commit a candidate event to a distributed ledger, and (b) the candidate event is associated with an event type of a plurality of event types;
generate a validation score, wherein (a) the validation score comprises a baseline score, and (b) the baseline score is generated based at least in part on a miner effect measure associated with the miner node for the event type; and
execute a hierarchical validation workflow, wherein: (i) the hierarchical validation workflow comprises an ordered sequence of L validation iterations, (ii) each of one or more ith non-initial validation iterations is performed based at least in part on an association of an (i−1)th validation iteration with a non-affirmative validation determination, and (iii) each validation iteration comprises:
receiving, originating from a validator node computing entity associated with a validator node of the plurality of nodes, a validation request to validate the candidate event,
incrementally updating the validation score based at least in part on monitoring data associated with the validation request that matches attributes of the candidate event, and
in response to the updated validation score satisfying a consensus threshold for the candidate event, (i) generating an affirmative validation determination, and (ii) initiating execution of a write command to add the candidate event to the distributed ledger.
