FIG. 9 illustrates additional publication mechanisms. Once the blockchain data layer 40 is generated, the blockchain data layer 40 may be published in a decentralized manner to any destination. The data layer server 24, for example, may generate and distribute the public blockchain 50 (via the communications network 110 illustrated in FIGS. 7-8) to one or more federated servers 140. While there may be many federated servers 140, for simplicity FIG. 9 only illustrates two (2) federated servers 140a and 140b. The federated servers 140a and 140b provide a service and, in return, they are compensated according to a compensation or services agreement or scheme.
