Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel protocol to represent the human factor on a blockchain environment. Our approach allows single or groups of humans to propose data in blocks which cannot be validated automatically but need human knowledge and collaboration to be validated. Only if human-based consensus on the correctness and trustworthiness of the data is reached, the new block is appended to the blockchain. This human approach significantly extends the possibilities of blockchain applications on data types apart from financial transaction data.
