System for intelligent and integrated preservation of multiple electronic data records within a distributed electronic data register

Abstract

A system is provided for intelligent and integrated preservation of multiple electronic data records within a distributed electronic data register. In particular, the system may use a stacked data structure within the distributed register that allows data records or blocks within the distributed register to include multiple links or pointers (e.g., hash values) to previous blocks, where such previous blocks may be linked to a single parent block. By using such a multi-link data structure, the system may prevent the waste of energy and/or computing resources associated with the computational work of the nodes for submitting blocks to be appended to the distributed register. The system may further use a two-pointer algorithm for traversing the multi-link distributed register, thereby providing for an efficient way to search for specific data records. In this way, the system provides a more secure and efficient way to store data within a distributed register.
