1. A transaction ordering system for sequencing transactions processed by a decentralized network in which nodes communicate with a peer-to-peer protocol to process transactions, the system comprising:
an auxiliary decentralized network including multiple oracle nodes communicating through a peer-to-peer protocol, wherein the auxiliary decentralized network is distinct from the decentralized network and wherein the auxiliary decentralized network is configured to;
receive a set of transactions to be executed by the decentralized network;
create, based on a predetermined policy, ordering information indicating a sequence in which transactions in the set of transactions are to be processed; and
transmit the ordering information to the decentralized network for execution of the transactions, by the decentralized network, in the sequence.
