DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSFORMING BLOCKCHAIN DATA BLOCKS
FIG3 schematically illustrates a second blockchain according to various examples
FIG3 schematically illustrates a second blockchain 8 according to various examples. The second blockchain may comprise a plurality of different second data blocks 19a-19c, which may be chained by second has values 10-10b based on a second hash-function encryption mechanism. Hereby, the chaining request 15 may be sent by the request module 16 of the device 1, and may be received by the Blockchain network nodes 14b-14c of the blockchain network 2. In this context, the chaining request 15 may be adapted for chaining the single blockchain data block 7 with the second blockchain 8. Hereby, the single blockchain data block 7 may comprise at least two first data blocks 5a-5d of the first blockchain 4, wherein these at least two first data blocks 5a-5c may be chained by the first hash values 9a-9c based on the first hash-function encryption mechanism.

['1. A device (1), which is adapted to be connected with a blockchain network (2), comprising: a receiving module (3), adapted to receive, from the blockchain network (2), a first blockchain (4) comprising a plurality of first data blocks (5a-5d), wherein chaining of the first blockchain (4) is based on a first hash-function encryption mechanism, a transformation module (6), adapted to transform at least two first data blocks (5a-5d) of the first blockchain (4) into a single blockchain data block (7), wherein the block chain data block (7) includes the at least two first data blocks (5a-5d) from the first block chain (4) which are chained based on the first hash-function encryption mechanism, and a request module (16), adapted to request, at the blockchain network (2), chaining of the single blockchain data block (7) with a second blockchain (8), wherein chaining of the second blockchain (8) is based on a second hash-function encryption mechanism different from the first hash-function encryption mechanism.', '5. The device (1) according to any of the preceding claims, further comprising a user interface (11), adapted to control the transformation module (6) to selectively activate said transforming based on a user command (12).']
