Abstract
An illustrative system may comprise a plurality of distributed network nodes hosting a two-dimensional distributed digital ledger. The distributed digital ledger may have a plurality of chains of digital blocks in the two-dimensions, wherein each chain may be associated with a particular functionality (e.g., a first set of integrated circuit processes) and a corresponding level of security. For example, a first chain in the first direction may contain digital blocks containing code differentials of the hardware description language code forming the integrated circuit design. A second chain in a second direction may contain digital blocks containing simulation data records generated during the simulation of the integrated circuit design. The first chain and the second chain may be based upon different cryptographic protocols and therefore may be cryptographically separate from each other.
