Abstract

Nodes determine a first measure of difficulty for a first branch of a split blockchain and a second measure of difficulty for a second branch of the split blockchain. The first measure of difficulty is based on a measure of block generation frequency of each node that mined for the split blockchain during a window that comprises blocks of the first branch. The second measure of difficulty is based on a measure of block generation frequency of each node that mined for the split blockchain during a window that comprises blocks of the second branch. One of the first branch and the second branch is identified as a legitimate branch based on a comparison of the first measure of difficulty and the second measure of difficulty.
