Abstract: System and method for using a distributed ledger gateway are disclosed. In one embodiment, in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor, a method for interacting with a plurality of distributed ledgers may include: (1) receiving a client request comprising a payload to be written to one of a plurality of distributed ledgers and metadata extracted from the client request; (2) identifying a destination distributed ledger of the plurality of distributed ledgers; (3) logging a source of the request and the destination distributed ledger; (4) encrypting the payload; and (5) routing the encrypted payload to the destination distributed ledger.

Abstract: Systems and methods for private settlement of distributed ledger transactions are disclosed. In one embodiment, in an information processing device for a node for a first party in a computer network comprising at least one computer processor, a method for transferring assets with transaction privacy using a distributed ledger may include: (1) receiving, from the first party, a transaction to transfer ownership of one or more first z-tokens to a second party in exchange for second z-tokens; (2) receiving, from the second party, acceptance of the transaction; (3) committing the transaction to a distributed ledger; and (4) executing the transaction and updating a state to update a number of first z-tokens and a number of second z-tokens for the first party and the second party based on the transaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for privacy in distributed ledger transactions are disclosed. In one embodiment, in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor for a first node in a computer network comprising a plurality of nodes, a method for generating a key directory in a network comprising a plurality of nodes may include: (1) advertising a public key for a first node to the other nodes; (2) receiving public key information from each of the plurality of nodes; and (3) generating a public key directory that associates each node in the computer network with its public key.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for distributed ledger-based peer-to-peer lending may include: receiving, from a first node in a network associated with one of a debt issuer or an investor, a transaction between the debt issuer and the investor, the transaction comprising a cash portion and a debt portion; generating a debt token for the debt portion; writing the debt token to a wallet for the debt issuer that is tracked on a distributed ledger; generating a cash token for the cash portion; writing the cash token to a wallet for the investor that is tracked on a distributed ledger; settling the transaction by exchanging the cash tokens from the wallet for the investor and the debt tokens from the wallet for the debt issuer; and writing the settled transaction to the distributed ledger.
