Abstract

We consider applications that write data over a blockchain. Such applications are based on the implicit assumption that the blockchain will work forever. Although blockchains are very fault-tolerant by construction, the event that a blockchain becomes totally unusable or disappears is not impossible. We consider the problem of making the applications fault tolerant against total blockchain failures by replicating the needed data over several blockchains. As specific use cases, we consider the implementation of Self-Sovereign identities and the implementation of a Key Event Receipt Infrastructure using data replicated over several blockchains.
