A method for improving consensus in a blockchain network through decentralized grouping includes: identifying, by each node of a plurality of nodes in a blockchain network that manages a blockchain, a plurality of groups, where each is comprised of a subset of nodes; generating, by each node in each subset of nodes, a new block for the blockchain; performing, by each subset of nodes, a first consensus operation among all nodes in the subset of nodes for the new block generated by in the subset of nodes to identify a group consensus block, where each node in the subset of nodes receives the group's group consensus block; and performing, by the blockchain network, a second consensus operation among all groups for the identified group consensus block to identify an overall consensus block, where a majority of groups of the plurality of groups receives the overall consensus block.

Method and system for grouping of blockchain nodes

A method and system for awarding blocks in a blockchain for mining based on commitment to a blockchain network. The method includes receiving, by a receiver of a processing server, a plurality of mining bids, where each mining bid is submitted by a blockchain node in a blockchain network and includes at least a declaration, the declaration being a period of time in which the blockchain node agrees to defer spending an earned mining fee; selecting, by a processor of the processing server, a winning bid of the plurality of mining bids based on at least the declaration included in each of the plurality of mining bids; and transmitting, by a transmitter of the processing server, a notification message to a winning blockchain node that submitted the winning bid.
