In one embodiment, a method for maintaining a blockchain in a blockchain system is disclosed. The method may include determining whether a number of blocks included in the blockchain satisfies a threshold block condition. The blocks comprise an initial genesis block and one or more subsequent blocks. The method may also include, responsive to determining the number of blocks in the blockchain satisfies the threshold block threshold condition, determining whether a number of nodes participating in the blockchain system satisfies a threshold node condition. The method may also include, responsive to determining the number of nodes participating in the blockchain satisfies the threshold node condition, generating a subsequent genesis block by hashing the blockchain including the genesis block and the one or more subsequent blocks.
