Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure relate to content delivery using distributed ledger and AI-based transcoding technologies. In examples, a content distribution network (CDN) receives content from a content source for distribution to client devices. A content record is generated for the content, which comprises a content hash for the content. The content record may be stored in a distributed ledger. A smart contract associated with the content may be generated, where the smart contract facilitates CDN analytics or accounting for CDN service payments, licensing fees, or royalty payments, among other examples. The smart contract may be associated with the content hash and may be executed based on any of a variety of triggers, such as content playback and/or distribution via the CDN.
