Abstract: Decentralized computer systems and methods are disclosed for using a debit network as an intermediary between distributed ledgers. One method includes: receiving, at a first blockchain network from a merchant, transaction information comprising a consumer identification, an issuer identification from a payment vehicle presented for a transaction, and a transaction amount in resources of a first type, wherein the merchant and/or its acquirer are participants of the first blockchain network but the consumer and/or issuer are not participants of the first blockchain network; sending the transaction information to a debit network; identifying, using the debit network, a second blockchain network having the consumer and/or the issuer as participants, using the received consumer identification or issuer identification; and if participants of the second blockchain network accept the transaction, generating a new immutable entry to the second blockchain network indicating a change in the resources of a second type.

Abstract: Decentralized computer systems and methods are disclosed for establishing and conducting payment processing with loyalty points using distributed ledger. One method includes: receiving a consumer identification, an issuer identification, and transaction information from a point of sale system when the loyalty card is presented for a transaction of a good or service at a merchant, identifying the network node containing distributed ledger associated with the issuer according to received issuer identification prompting, to participants of the shared ledger, to validate whether the consumer distributed ledger has required loyalty points for the transaction; if all of the participants of the shared ledger accepts the transaction, generating, a new immutable entry to the distributed ledger for the transaction with remaining loyalty points in the loyalty card after deducting the points required for the transaction; and sending a transaction approved message to the point of sale system at the merchant.
