  • Publication number: 20230105028
    Abstract: An autonomous futures contract orchestration platform includes processors programmed with non-transitory computer-readable instructions to collectively execute receiving, from a data source, an indication associated with a product that relates to an entity that at least one of purchases or sells the product. The instructions include predicting a baseline cost of at least one of purchasing or selling the product at a future point in time based on the indication. The instructions include retrieving a futures cost, at a current point in time, of a futures contract for the product. The instructions include generating a risk threshold based on a specified risk tolerance of the entity indicating a difference between the baseline cost and the futures cost. The instructions include executing a smart contract for the futures contract based on the baseline cost, the futures cost, and the risk threshold.
