Abstract: A consent block is a type of block that may be stored in a blockchain. Each consent block has an owner and may store an owner consent contract, i.e., a smart contract containing owner-specified access rules that determine who may access data assets that are stored in other blocks of the blockchain and owned by the same owner. The consent block may alternatively store a global consent contract containing global access rules that supersede owner-specified access rules. The consent block also stores a hash value determined from the consent contract and a previous hash value of the block immediately preceding the consent block. The consent contract and the position of the consent block in the blockchain are verifiable from the hash value. Each consent block, once added to the blockchain, becomes part of the immutable record of data stored in the blockchain, and therefore leaves an auditable trail.

Abstract: Systems and methods move money from a crypto currency to a fiat currency in real-time using a mobile wallet or debit card to allow a customer to use the funds instantly. The process for such movement of money is secured using distributed ledger technology and smart contract services. The funds are available to the customer in real-time and the customer is able to use those funds substantially anywhere credit cards are accepted and at substantially any automatic teller machine (ATM). A multi-layered distributed ledger and reconciliation method may be used as a transaction settlement system. The multi-tiered authentication and distributed identification method may be used to prevent fraud and theft. A retail transactional value of a portfolio of digital currencies may be determined by taking into account asset market liquidity and volatility.
