Messaging balancing and control on blockchain

A computer-based system for balancing and control of message transfers, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause a balancing and control system to perform operations comprising:
• writing, by the balancing and control system to a blockchain, a message transfer confirmation in response to a consumer system transmitting a message to a provider system or the provider system transmitting the message to the consumer system, wherein the message transfer confirmation comprises a provider system address, a consumer system address, a message ID, a message exchange pattern, and a first hash of the message;
• writing, by the balancing and control system to the blockchain, a message acknowledgement in response to the provider system receiving the message from the consumer system or the consumer system receiving the message from the provider system, wherein the message acknowledgement comprises the provider system address, the consumer system address, the message ID, the message exchange pattern, and a second hash of the message, wherein the blockchain executes a smart contract to compare the first hash of the message to the second hash of the message to identify an out-of-balance message transfer event;
• and
• reading, by a monitoring device of the balancing and control system and from the blockchain, at least one of the message transfer confirmation, the message acknowledgement, or the out-of-balance message transfer event, based on the message ID,
• wherein the message exchange pattern comprises at least one of an in-only exchange pattern, an out-only exchange pattern, an in-optional-out exchange pattern, an out-optional-in exchange pattern, a robust in-only exchange pattern, or a robust out-only exchange pattern.

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a balancing and control system, cause the balancing and control system to perform operations comprising:

• writing, by the balancing and control system to a blockchain, a message transfer confirmation in response to a consumer system transmitting a message to a provider system or the provider system transmitting the message to the consumer system, wherein the message transfer confirmation comprises a provider system address, a consumer system address, a message ID, a message exchange pattern, and a first hash of the message;
• writing, by the balancing and control system to the blockchain, a message acknowledgement in response to the provider system receiving the message from the consumer system or the consumer system receiving the message from the provider system, wherein the message acknowledgement comprises the provider system address, the consumer system address, the message ID, the message exchange pattern, and a second hash of the message, wherein the blockchain executes a smart contract to compare the first hash of the message to the second hash of the message to identify an out-of-balance message transfer event;
• and
• reading, by a monitoring device of the balancing and control system and from the blockchain, at least one of the message transfer confirmation, the message acknowledgement, or the out-of-balance message transfer event, based on the message ID,
• wherein the message exchange pattern comprises at least one of an in-only exchange pattern, an out-only exchange pattern, an in-optional-out exchange pattern, an out-optional-in exchange pattern, a robust in-only exchange pattern, or a robust out-only exchange pattern.
