Abstract

Provided herein is a system and method for implementing a real-time and continuous validation tool for a distributed ledger-based computing system (i.e., blockchain). In one or more examples a real-time validation tool and system can continuously monitor a blockchain computing system for activities that indicate abnormal or risky behavior, and can generate a report to a user that details those events. The real-time validation tool can be implemented as a node in a blockchain computing system and can use information gleaned from blockchain activity occurring in real-time as well as external data gathered from various sources to determine if one or more events has occurred that is indicative of abnormal or risky activity occurring within the blockchain computing system. The validation tool can be used to improve and secure an existing blockchain computing system against cyber intrusions and various integrity issues.
