Abstract
A shared ledger of transactions may be used for various purposes and may be later accessed by interested parties for ledger verification. Authenticity of transactions requires active measures to ensure transaction participants including parties to the transactions, observers to the transaction, etc., are providing accurate information for each transaction. One example method of operation may include one or more of performing one or more transactions between a subset of participants of a shared ledger system or subsystem which includes the subset of participants and witnesses assigned to the subset of participants, and synchronizing the one or more transactions exclusively by the subset of participants and the assigned witnesses, so the one or more of the transactions between the subset of participants exist with no common witnesses.
