Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to selection of miners/validators in a decentralized cryptographic network. In some embodiments, a request to add a transaction to a blockchain includes a cryptographic signature associated with provision of a second transfer fee, in addition to a first transfer fee, to miners/validators who meet a set of one or more criteria. Disclosed techniques may advantageously allow steering of blockchain requests to a desired subset of miners/validators.
