Monetary value as data object or projection of ledger entries

So in short each node changes the data and if more than 50% of them have then the data is changed. Data chains enforces this across more than one group and in fact a bit like a merkle tree, not in structure, but in purpose, will make sure that going fomr a known start point (say the genesis block) you can traverse the tree to ensure the nodes that say this is the data are in fact nodes that can be cryptographic-ally proven to be the correct nodes to attest that this is the data"]

@oetyng I don’t know if you caught this. Each of those nodes has/keeps a copy of the MD data object and the node changes its copy when consensus is met. Data chains ensure a requester gets the latest version of the MD in case some nodes have not yet updated the MD. IE avoiding race conditions etc
