Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of identifying a newly proposed transaction of a blockchain, initiating a consensus operation to determine whether to authorize the newly proposed transaction, retrieving a key-value pair identified from a previous transaction, comparing an index value associated with the key-value pair of the previous transaction to an index value associated with a key-value pair of the newly proposed transaction, and providing an affirmative consensus to accept the newly proposed transaction in the blockchain when the index value associated with the key-value pair of the previous transaction is contiguously sequential with the index value associated with the key-value pair of the newly proposed transaction.
