    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for using a blockchain to maintain a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for a vehicle over the course of the vehicle lifecycle. For example, a computer-implemented method tracks a vehicle identifier on a blockchain maintained by a plurality of participants. The method may include (1) receiving, at a processor coupled with a network interface, a vehicle identifier notification from a participant; (2) accessing, at a memory coupled with a processor, the blockchain using the vehicle identifier notification; (3) updating, at the memory, a block stored at the memory using the vehicle identifier notification; and (4) transmitting, via the processor coupled with the network interface, the block to at least one other participant to facilitate maintaining the blockchain up-to-date.
