Abstract

A trust-less system for sharing event information among autonomous nodes may include: a plurality of autonomous nodes, each of which creates an event related to a condition, a first ledger configured to collect and store a record of each event; a second ledger configured to store reputation information for the plurality of autonomous nodes; and a bookmaker module operable to determine a reward and a penalty for each event. The bookmaker module may be operable to modify the reputation information based on a status of the condition determined by subsequent events created by autonomous nodes where the subsequent events either validate or invalidate the condition.
