1. A system for performing transactions between at least a first and at least a second transaction partner, comprising
a plurality of computing and communication units, which are provided in a locally distributed manner at a plurality of locations, each computing and communication unit being coupled to at least one measuring sensor and forming a smart meter gateway or being a part of a smart meter gateway for communication by the at least one measuring sensor with an information receiver, the computing and communication units forming a computer group for performing a transaction, wherein, when performing a transaction, the computing and communication units of a computer group are each designed to generate a data set which contains information with regard to a transaction and is designed to be incorporated into a chain of cryptographically interlinked data sets;
at least one validation unit, which is designed to verify the data sets that shall be incorporated into the chain of cryptographically interlinked data sets, the validation unit being further designed to select a data set which was generated by a computing and communication unit of the computer group and to incorporate it into the chain of cryptographically interlinked data sets.
