1. A computer-implemented method performed by a manager for respawning a repeat loop code block at an ith iteration of a loop, wherein the manager operates in parallel to a blockchain-related platform, the method comprising:
monitoring, by the manager, a blockchain for a transaction that contains a hash (H1) of a code block that matches an entry in a code registry managed by the manager;
in response to finding the transaction that contains the hash (H1):
reading metadata of the transaction to retrieve a code (C1);
determining that the code (C1) has not been changed;
storing an index (I) and respawning the code (C1) at an ith iteration; and
including a signature of a user in a pay-to-script-hash (P2SH) command to verify an origin of the metadata.
