Abstract

A system for use in a blockchain distribution network includes a plurality of peer-to-peer nodes and a plurality of central servers in communication with at least a portion of the plurality of peer-to-peer nodes. The plurality of peer-to-peer nodes includes a first peer node and a second peer node and the plurality of central servers includes a first central server. The first peer node includes a first transceiver that is configured to transmit a blockchain to the second peer node. The second peer node includes a second transceiver that is configured to relay the blockchain to the first central server such that the first central server is unable to identify an origin of the blockchain.
