Abstract: Methods that provide a blockchain network for entities to securely collaborate with respect to rate card data records and data transactions triggering various events. In these methods, a computing device obtains, from a first blockchain node of an enterprise, via a blockchain channel, a rate card data record that includes at least one unique identifier, primary information about the rate card data record, and a plurality of data values that change over time. The rate card data record is in a form of a distributed ledger blockchain. The computing device generates, using a set of rules in a smart contract, a data transaction based on one or more values in the rate card data record. The data transaction is in the form of the distributed ledger blockchain. The computing device further provides, to a second blockchain node, via the blockchain channel, the data transaction that triggers an executable event.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for authenticating and predicting the remaining lifetime of a resold product. Telemetry data is received from a transceiver within the product, which is then stored within a distributed ledger. The lifetime of the product is determined by analyzing the telemetry data in the distributed ledger according to one or more models. In response to receiving a query about the product, the user is granted read access to the distributed ledger, including read access to the determined lifetime of the product and the authentication of the product (in real or near real time).
