Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing efficient storage and validation of data and metadata within a blockchain using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in conjunction with a cloud based computing environment are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a system having at least a processor and a memory therein executing within a host organization, in which such a system includes means for operating a blockchain interface to a blockchain on behalf of a plurality of tenants of the host organization, in which each one of the plurality of tenants operate as a participating node with access to the blockchain; receiving a transaction for the blockchain requesting the host organization to update a data record persistently stored on the blockchain, the transaction specifying updated values for one or more of a plurality of data elements of the data record; executing a smart contract to validate the updated values specified by the transaction before permitting the transaction to be added to the blockchain to update the data record on the blockchain with the updated values; and writing the updated values for the data record to the blockchain by adding the transaction to a new block on the blockchain pursuant to successful validation of the updated data values by the smart contract. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing super community and community sidechains with consent management for distributed ledger technologies in a cloud based computing environment are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a system having at least a processor and a memory therein executing within a host organization and having therein: means for operating a blockchain interface to a blockchain on behalf of a plurality of tenants of the host organization, wherein each of the plurality of tenants are participating nodes with the blockchain; means for receiving a login request from a user device, the login request requesting access to a user profile associated with a first one of the plurality of tenants; means for authenticating the user device and retrieving a user profile from the blockchain based on the authentication of the user device, wherein the user profile is stored as a blockchain asset within the blockchain with a first portion of the user profile comprising non-protected data accessible to all participating nodes on the blockchain and with a second portion of the user profile comprising protected data accessible only to participating nodes having user consent; means for prompting the user device to grant user consent to share the protected data with a second one of the plurality of tenants; and means for sharing the protected data with the second one of the plurality of tenants by permitting access to the protected data within the blockchain asset by the second tenant's participating node. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A set of interfaces is described for implementing a blockchain network by a multi-tenant server, wherein the set of interfaces comprise an object mapping interface. The object mapping interface includes a set object function to designate a tenant object for use in the blockchain network based on an input object; a map function to map fields of the tenant object in a multi-tenant system managed by the multi-tenant server and fields of an exchange object used by the blockchain network based on an input set of field mappings; and a set owner function to set a tenant in the multi-tenant system as an owner of the mappings based on an input identifier.

Abstract: A method for a multi-tenant server to manage data in a peer-to-peer blockchain network is described. The method includes monitoring one or more fields of a first physical object of a first tenant in the peer-to-peer blockchain network to determine when one or more conditions of a smart contract have been fulfilled; determining that one or more conditions of the smart contract have been met by the first physical object of the first tenant; and performing one or more operations of the smart contract, which are associated with the one or more conditions, in response to determining that the one or more conditions of the smart contract have been met by the first physical object of the first tenant, wherein the one or more operations are performed in relation to a second physical object of a second tenant in the peer-to-peer blockchain network.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for an application set-up and management system (AMS). An embodiment operates by receiving a selection of an application for installation. The application accesses a plurality of data fields during its execution, including both a first set of one or more of the data fields that are managed on a centralized database, and a second set of one or more of the data fields that are managed on a decentralized ledger during its operation. The application is installed on a cloud platform of a first user account, wherein the cloud platform includes access to the centralized database. Information associated with setting up the decentralized ledger corresponding to the application is received, and the decentralized ledger is set up. The application is activated on the cloud platform.
