There is provided mechanisms for determining a processing schedule of an electronic transaction. A method is performed by a decision engine. The method comprises obtaining an indication that the electronic transaction is to be performed between at least two communication devices. The method comprises determining the processing schedule for transaction processing used for executing the electronic transaction between the at least two communication devices. The processing schedule specifies a distribution of how much of the transaction processing to be performed on-chain using a Blockchain platform and how much of the transaction processing to be performed off-chain using an off-chain computing platform. The processing schedule is determined using parameters identifying processing load and processing performance of each of the Blockchain platform and the off-chain computing platform. The method comprises initiating the transaction processing in accordance with the processing schedule by initiating execution of a smart contract for the at least two communication devices for any of the transaction processing to be performed on-chain and/or initiating opening of a communications channel to the off-chain computing platform for the at least two communication devices for any of the transaction processing to be performed off-chain.
