See full text

A block formation device and to a node device for a distributed database system, each having a unit for receiving a timing clock pulse from a time source and determining time slices of prescribed length on the basis of the timing clock pulse is provided. The block formation device is configured to select transactions to be confirmed precisely once within a respective time slice from unconfirmed transactions provided in the database system, to form an unconfirmed block from the selected unconfirmed transactions and to provide the unconfirmed block in the database system. The node device is configured to store a chain of confirmed blocks representing a transaction log of the database system; and, within a respective time slice, to confirm precisely one from unconfirmed blocks provided in the database system in the time slice precisely once and to add it to the chain of confirmed blocks.
