Abstract:
A method of performing a blockchain transaction in a transaction network comprising a plurality of transaction network shards is disclosed, where each shard maintains a respective blockchain for recording blockchain transactions. A transaction request for transferring asset value represented by one or more tokens is received and an input token for use in the transaction is determined. The method then identifies a given one of the plurality of shards associated with the input token and forwards transaction information for the transaction to a shard controller associated with the identified shard to initiate performance of the transaction by the shard controller.
