    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media for implementing a scalable, secure, efficient, and adaptable distributed digital ledger transaction network. Indeed, the disclosed systems can reduce storage and processing requirements, improve security of implementing computing devices and underlying digital assets, accommodate a wide variety of different digital programs (or “smart contracts”), and scale to accommodate billions of users and associated digital transactions. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a host of features that improve storage, account/address management, digital transaction execution, consensus, and synchronization processes. The disclosed systems can also utilize a new programming language that improves efficiency and security of the distributed digital ledger transaction network.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable storage media are disclosed for facilitating a payment transaction between a user and a merchant. In particular, one or more embodiments call a third-party tokenization system in response to a request to initiate the payment transaction to obtain a payment token representing a payment authorization number. Additionally, one or more embodiments wrap the payment token within a transaction token to send to a merchant system associated with the merchant. One or more embodiments receive the transaction token in connection with a request to process the payment transaction and then extract the payment token based on receiving the transaction token. One or more embodiments then initiate the payment transaction based on receiving the transaction token by sending the payment token to a payment network.
