A consent block is a type of block that may be stored in a blockchain. Each consent block has an owner and may store an owner consent contract, i.e., a smart contract containing owner-specified access rules that determine who may access data assets that are stored in other blocks of the blockchain and owned by the same owner. The consent block may alternatively store a global consent contract containing global access rules that supersede owner-specified access rules. The consent block also stores a hash value determined from the consent contract and a previous hash value of the block immediately preceding the consent block. The consent contract and the position of the consent block in the blockchain are verifiable from the hash value. Each consent block, once added to the blockchain, becomes part of the immutable record of data stored in the blockchain, and therefore leaves an auditable trail.

Systems and methods for accessing digital assets in a blockchain using owner consent contracts

Introduced here is a computational architecture (also referred to as a 'computational infrastructure') that addresses the limitations of traditional data management solutions using a highly secure data management solution coupled with consent-based sharing. At a high level, the computational architecture applies blockchain methodologies to both transaction data and business data such that both types of data are stored “on chain” in the same computational architecture. This enables several significant advantages over traditional data management solutions with respect to data security, data ownership, data sharing, and intelligence.

Graph models of relationships between data stored in blocks on distributed ledgers that are learned through machine learning and platforms for creating, cataloging, and storing the same

An adaptive data storage platform includes a plurality of nodes and a plurality of data stores, each associated with a different one of the nodes. An immutable journal distributed is between the plurality of nodes. Access to the data stores is based upon a consensus of trust determined by the plurality of nodes. The data is cyphered as it is received to form ciphered data that is sharded into equally sized shards that are distributed across the nodes for storing on a corresponding ones of the data stores and tracked using the immutable journal. The shard may be periodically sent to a different one of the nodes for storing on the corresponding data store. The data is thereby ciphered and distributed across the plurality of data stores and is not stationary.
