This paper introduces Distributed Ledger Register that mimics the behavior of most popular ledgers such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Our work is the first to make the connection between the Distributed Ledger Register and the classical theory of shared registers. We furthermore, propose an algorithm that emulates the distributed ledger register.
