Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for capturing changes in trade information that impact trade authorization and for updating a chain state on a distributed chain database that is used to authorize trades are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the system comprises: a trade controller configured to obtain a current state from a local database; a rules engine configured to be invoked by the trade controller to apply a ruleset to data extracted from the local database to generate an updated state; an operation auto detector configured to generate a plan to update a chain state on the distributed chain database based at least in part on the updated state; and an execution engine configured to execute the plan and to generate an updated chain state that is used to authorize trades.
