Abstract: A shared resource service allows multiple clients to agree on rules for accessing a shared resource (e.g., a shared database or a shared service). The shared resource service also allows the clients to make changes to the rules (e.g., via consensus or majority vote). The clients use the shared resource service to enforce the rules, without having to trust each other to follow the rules when accessing the shared resource. First, the clients agree on a set of initial rules for accessing the shared resource and a set of initial rules for making changes to the rules. After the rules are initialized, then the clients can begin using the shared resource in accordance with the agreed upon rules. In response to a request for accessing the shared resource or a request for changing rules, the shared resource service enforce the applicable rules.
