Abstract: Methods and systems for using block chain technology to verify transaction data are described herein. A computing platform may receive data about events related to transactions, personal or corporate information, supply chains, and other relevant information about a person or corporate entity. The event information may be received, aggregated, and processed to determine metadata about the person or corporate entity. The metadata may indicate, for example, a trustworthiness of the person or corporate entity for various purposes. Such event information and/or metadata may be stored as transactions in a block chain that may be accessible by counterparties to a potential transaction involving the person or corporate entity. The automated event processing computing platform may further use automated techniques to implement smart transactions between the person/entity and counterparty based on the trust metadata.

Abstract: An improved blockchain is described herein in which a user burn transaction can be used to increase the probability that another node is selected as a leader. For example, a node can submit a user burn transaction that references a block commit submitted by another node, and may indicate an amount of cryptocurrency being burned in the user burn transaction. The amount of cryptocurrency being burned in the user burn transaction can be summed with the amount of cryptocurrency burned in the block commit referenced by the user burn transaction to determine the probability that the node that submitted the block commit is selected as a leader. While the node that submitted the user burn transaction cannot be selected as a leader, the node that submitted the user burn transaction can share in a portion of the block reward awarded to the node selected as the leader.
