1. A method for processing blocks using a parallel-blockchain architecture, comprising:

  • storing, in a memory device of a blockchain processing server, a plurality of parallel blockchains including an initial set of blockchains, each blockchain comprising an initial set of respective blocks,the first block comprising a first block header that includes an initiating block hash,wherein each blockchain is associated with at least one peer blockchain;

    receiving, by a transceiver device in communication with the blockchain processing server, a transaction message from a node device;

    generating, by a cryptographic module of the blockchain processing server, a second block hash based on the first block header of the first block and on the corresponding Merkle root for each at least one peer blockchain;

    generating, by a blockchain module of the blockchain processing server, a second block header for the first blockchain,wherein the second block header comprises the generated second block hash;

    generating, by the blockchain module of the blockchain processing server, a second block for the first blockchain,wherein the second block includes at least the generated second block header and the transaction message; and

    transmitting, by the transceiver device, the generated second block to one or more node devices associated with the at least one peer blockchain.
