Abstract:
A multi-tiered blockchain database system which retains the desirable features of blockchain technology but reduces or eliminates its limitations. The system allows for a primary tier blockchain database that acts as a common linkage to a plurality of lower tier, regional databases with their own separate blockchains. Blockchains at the lower tiers may have a variety of improvements over existing blockchain technology for handling certain applications.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for structuring a multi-tiered blockchain database system, comprising the steps of:\n (a) creating at least one primary tier blockchain database which acts as the highest tier database to which, and from which, entries in lower tier blockchains may be made, and into which valuations in other forms must be placed to be used in the system; (b) creating at least one lower tier blockchain database, wherein the valuation associated with certain types of entries in the database is limited in size, the number of entries in the active database is limited, incentive for nodes to validate entries is based on a portion of the valuation associated with an entry or a transaction fee, and the valuation associated with entries in the database cannot be transferred to a different blockchain database at the same or a lower tier without first transferring it to at least the next higher tier blockchain database; and (c) establishing at least one gateway node between each lower tier blockchain database and the blockchain database at the next higher tier, which enforces the divisions between lower tier blockchain databases.
