Abstract: Various embodiments provide for data object collection, management, tracking, or control with a blockchain. In particular, some embodiments collect, manage, track, or control one or more data objects between two or more nodes, where each node is associated with a particular user and each particular user controls their respective data objects through their associated node. A node associated with a particular user can effectively serve as a computer container for storing data objects associated with the particular user, and further for supporting one or more functions (e.g., collection, management, tracking, or control functions) with respect to the data objects associated with the particular user.
