1. A method executed by a server that load balances virtual machines processing blockchains, the method comprising:
receiving, by the server, a plurality of blockchains as inputs;
identifying, by the server, a virtual machine of a plurality of virtual machines by querying an electronic database that electronically associates the virtual machines to blockchain parameters including a parameter associated with a corresponding blockchain;
load balancing, by the server, the plurality of virtual machines to the plurality of blockchains by executing a blockchain load balancing mechanism that assigns the virtual machine to the corresponding blockchain; and
sending, by the server, the corresponding blockchain to the virtual machine for processing.
