Abstract
Techniques are described, as implemented by computing devices, to control access to transactions through use of security deposits based on tokenized reputation scores. This is performed by leveraging a blockchain such that tokenized reputation scores are generated based on amounts of cryptographic reputation tokens associated with blockchain account addresses associated with service provider accounts. Access to transactional functionality is controlled for a service provider account by using an amount of cryptographic reputation tokens as a security deposit, where the security deposit is calculated based on a tokenized reputation score of the service provider account. Further, return of a security deposit is controlled for a service provider account based on a determination of a successful or unsuccessful completion of a transaction.
