# Synthetic Blockchain

The Synthetic Blockchain is a blockchain-style structure built on top of an existing blockchain, used to capture and organize the commands from different sources.  The Blockchain enables ordering the commands into blocks, which are executed based on priority and/or timestamp.  The reason that it is considered synthetic is it is entirely created on top of an existing blockchain as a data structure.  This facilitates the unification of multiple sources, and simplifies the architecture.  It also allows for the protocol to be indexed separately from the underlying blockchain.
