Claim 10:
11. A system for performing a virtual network function in a fifth generation (5G) wireless communication network, comprising:
a computer system comprising a non-transitory memory and a processor, the computer system configured to initiate a virtual network function process to provide a virtual network function in a 5G wireless communication network;
the virtual network function process stored in the non-transitory memory, that when executed by the processor:
creates a first block of a first blockchain associated with the virtual network function,
forks a user plane process on the computer system, wherein the virtual network function process provides a first block of a second blockchain to the user plane process as an initiation parameter, and
forks a control plane process on the computer system, where the virtual network function process provides a first block of a third blockchain to the control plane process as an initiation parameter;

the user plane process stored in the non-transitory memory, that when executed by the processor:
creates a first package of information based on the second blockchain, and
self-terminates in response to passing the first package of information to the virtual network function process; and

the control plane process stored in the non-transitory memory, that when executed by the processor:
creates a second package of information based on the third blockchain, and
self-terminates in response to passing the second package of information to the virtual network function process,

wherein the virtual network function process, when executed by the processor, further creates a terminal block of the first blockchain comprising the first package of information and the second package of information and self-terminates.
