Real-time processing distributed ledger system

Abstract:

A system, computer program product, and method for executing real-time processing of resource transfers using distributed ledger technology is provided. In particular, the system utilizes a private or semi-private blockchain to create a distributed ledger which comprises a record of all resource transfers between a number of entities. The real-time processing system addresses a number of computer technology-centric challenges associated with executing resource transfers. In particular, executing resource transfers on a real-time basis allows the nodes of the blockchain to more evenly distribute computing workload over time when compared to more traditional resource transfer systems that use batch processing to execute transfers.
