Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for facilitating peer-to-peer micro-loan transactions. A micro-loan system determines integrity scores for a plurality of users. The integrity scores are based on human capital management information and peer-submitted feedback. These micro-loan system receives a loan transaction request from a borrower-user, and determines a risk score for the loan transaction based the borrower's integrity score. The micro-loan system identifies potential lenders based on the determined transaction risk and the lenders' integrity scores. The micro-loan system facilitates a negotiation between the borrower and the potential lenders to determine transaction terms. When terms are finalized, the loan transaction and the transaction terms are recorded in a distributed ledger, and loan funds are remitted to the borrower.

Abstract: Described are systems, methods, and media for providing secure and scalable decentralized computation for one or more decentralized applications. Features include a blockchain, and a plurality of nodes that are separated into at least a first specialized node type and a second specialized node type. Nodes of the first specialized node type can be assigned non-deterministic tasks to perform, and each of the nodes of the second specialized node type can be assigned deterministic tasks to perform. Thus, the disclosed systems and methods can achieve improvements in speed and cost that scale with hardware capacity without compromising decentralization.

Abstract: Described are systems, methods, and media for providing secure and scalable decentralized computation for one or more decentralized applications. Features include a blockchain; and a plurality of nodes comprising a plurality of each of three specialized node types, the specialized node types comprising access nodes, security nodes, and execution nodes.

Abstract: A method, a computer system, and a computer program product are provided for providing payroll services by separately managing payroll information for employers and employees. A payroll blockchain system records a payroll services smart contract on a payroll block chain. The payroll services smart contract indicates an employer and at least one condition for processing payroll for the employer. In response to occurrence of the condition for processing payroll for the employer, payroll blockchain system identifies employer payroll information recorded in an employer smart contract on the payroll block chain. Payroll blockchain system identifies employee payroll information recorded in an employee smart contract on a payroll block chain. Payroll blockchain system processes payroll for the employer based on the employer payroll information and is recorded in the employer smart contract, and the employee payroll information recorded in an employee smart contract.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide devices that analyze employee health by determining a probability from reported measures of variances to normal work hours for at least one measure of expected employee health that includes expected sick leave or expected termination, and displaying the determined probability of expected employee health on a display device.
