Abstract

A method includes a computing entity issuing to an asset authenticity computing entity a request to select and authenticate a digital record that represents an available contingent asset based on a digital record representing a hypothetical contingent asset to produce a selected contingent asset. The method further includes determining that authenticity information associated with the selected contingent asset indicates that the selected contingent asset matches the hypothetical contingent asset. The method further includes, when approved, generating a smart contract to indicate availability of the selected contingent asset and obtaining a copy of an object distributed ledger. The method further includes causing inclusion of a next block on the object distributed ledger that includes the smart contract to represent the selected contingent asset.
