Abstract
An example system includes a distributed network having a first computer system communicatively coupled to a first set of network nodes, and a second computer system communicatively coupled to a second set of network nodes. The first computer system receives first data from a first network node representing a request for additional network resources; receives second data from the second computer system representing a first set of network resources available for sharing by a second network node; identifies at least a portion of the first set of network resources; transmits, to the first network node and the second computer system, first transaction data representing a sharing of at least the portion of the first set of network resources by the second network node with the first network node; and adds the first transaction data to a distributed ledger of the distributed network.
