Abstract: A system described herein may receive ledger information based on contents of a distributed ledger maintained by a first set of nodes, receive communication information associated with the first set of nodes, and establish a second set of nodes. Establishing the second set of nodes may includes providing the ledger information to the second set of nodes, providing the communication information, associated with the first set of nodes, to the second set of nodes, and maintaining information that the second set of nodes are in a first state. After establishing the second set of nodes, the system may obtain sync information from the first set of nodes, provide the sync information to the second set of nodes, and based on providing the sync information to the second set of nodes, maintain information that the second set of nodes are in a second state.

Abstract: A system described herein may identify a plurality of records recorded to a blockchain, and may identify a particular record of the plurality of records that includes a particular indicator that the particular record is associated with a particular event. The particular indicator may indicate a type of off-chain event. The system may perform, based on identifying the particular record that is associated with the particular event, one or more off-chain actions associated with the particular event. The performed off-chain event may be the indicated type, out of a plurality of possible types of events to perform. The system may record, to the blockchain, an indication that the one or more off-chain actions associated with the particular event have been performed. The event may include an identifier, which the system may also record to the indication that the one or more off-chain actions have been performed.

Abstract: A system described herein may utilize artificial intelligence/machine learning (“AI/ML”) or other suitable techniques to automatically identify blocks added to or proposed to be added to a blockchain, with conflicting and/or otherwise incompatible information, and to automatically remediate the blockchain based on the identified conflict and/or incompatibility. The model may associate different types of conflicts and/or incompatibilities with different types of remedial measures. The remedial measures may include the rejection of a proposed block, recording a new block that takes precedence or priority over a previously recorded block, or other suitable remedial measures.

Abstract: A system described herein may receive a proposed interaction with a distributed ledger, including a reference to a value that has been previously recorded to the distributed ledger. The system may attempt to obtain the value from an associated cache. If the value is unable to be obtained from the cache, the system may communication with an external device via a network to obtain the value. The system may execute the proposed interaction based on the obtained first value. The system may receive a finalized block based on the executed interaction, and may update the cache based on one or more values included in the finalized block.

Abstract: A method may include storing, in a block chain ledger, information associated with an agreement between a first service provider associated with a first network and a second service provider associated with a second network. The method may also include receiving, by a device, first capacity information associated with slices in the first network, storing the first capacity information in the block chain ledger and receiving a message associated with a roaming handoff for a communication session in the first network. The method may further include determining, by the device whether adequate resources are available in the second network to support the communication session and sending, to the first service provider, a message indicating that adequate resources are available in the second network to support the communication session.

Abstract: A system described herein may generate a hash value based on a set of data stored in an off-chain repository. The system may record an association between the set of data and the hash value to a blockchain system, receive a query from a client device, determine that the query is associated with the set of data, output a response to the query based on the set of data. The response may include the hash value. The system may authenticate the query (e.g., the client device) using one or more suitable authentication mechanisms, thus securing access to the set of data. The client device may verify the set of data based on determining that the hash value included in the response matches the hash value recorded to the blockchain system as being associated with the set of data.

Abstract: A framework is provided for blockchain-based customer dispute management of wholesale telecommunications claims. A network device receives a telecommunication claim to dispute an invoice from a provider network. The provider network and a partner network that includes the network device are related through a wholesale telecommunications agreement. The network device validates the telecommunication claim based on information in a distributed ledger of the distributed consensus network. The distributed ledger includes transaction information generated by the provider network for the partner network under the wholesale telecommunications agreement. The network device adjudicates the telecommunication claim based on information in the distributed ledger and instructions in a contract and updates the distributed ledger with the adjudicated claim.
