The invention relates to systems and methods for providing modular and configurable smart contracts for blockchain applications. The smart contracts may be utilized to retain all transaction attribute values in a world state database of the blockchain-implemented ledger. The systems and methods can further provide for dynamically configurable validation metadata and validation rules for transaction attributes recorded on a blockchain transaction log. The validation metadata and validation rules corresponding to the transaction attributes can be dynamically updated and applied to the transaction attributes to validate or invalidate a transaction.
