An example method of configuring a plurality of aspects of a system includes providing, by a computing system, a control smart contract and a plurality of subordinate smart contracts on a blockchain, wherein each subordinate smart contract receives a respective input regarding a respective one of the plurality of aspects and outputs a respective decision, and wherein the control smart contract controls a configuration process incorporating the subordinate contracts according to the decisions of the subordinate contracts. The method further includes conducting, by a computing system, the configuration process according to the control smart contract; and configuring the aspects of the system according to the decisions of the subordinate smart contracts.

System configuration based on smart contracts

Novel technical ways of analyzing a blockchain system using machine learning are presented. In various embodiments, A system can deploy, by a first entity, a policy smart contract on a blockchain to analyze a first smart contract deployed by a second entity, wherein the policy smart contract is governed by a set of rules, wherein the policy smart contract performs a first assessment that includes analyzing a set of functionalities of the first smart contract and detects a set of vulnerabilities associated with the first smart contract based on the set of rules. The system can determine at a first time a risk score corresponding to the first smart contract based on the analyzing and the detecting. In response to determining that the risk score is above a threshold score, the system can restrict users of a first platform corresponding to the first entity from accessing the first smart contract.

Automatic verification of decentrailized protocols

Different communication and software protocols may be used by different blockchain networks. Cross-chain communication is provided via a software bridge configured to enable specific operations. An event request may be sent from a first blockchain network to a second blockchain network. The event request may be processed using a first protocol of the first network to provide a first output. An offer of equivalent processing provided by the second network may be verified by: processing the event request using a second protocol of the second network to provide a second output, and confirming that the second output matches the offer of equivalent processing. A processing equivalence of the event request may be established between the first network and the second network based on the first output of the event request processed using the first protocol and the second output of the event request processed using the second protocol.
