System and method for managing collaborative multiuser document editing via a distributed ledger

A method, comprising:

• retrieving a document at a first instance for editing, the document being in an initial status, corresponding to a first state of a blockchain, maintained by a blockchain network;
• generating a first change in the document, wherein after the first change, a status of the document changes from an initial status that corresponds to the first state of the blockchain to a second status;
• sending, to the blockchain network via a local network, the first change for storage in the blockchain as a second state, derived from the first state;
• retrieving the document at a second instance when the document is in a third status, the third status including a second change, performed subsequent to the first change;
• and
• linking to the blockchain to retrieve a third state of the blockchain, the third state comprising the first change and the second change.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions that, in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• retrieve a document at a first instance for editing, the document being in an initial status, corresponding to a first state of a blockchain, maintained by a blockchain network;
• generate a first change in the document, wherein after the first change, a status of the document changes from an initial status that corresponds to the first state of the blockchain to a second status;
• send, to the blockchain network via a local network, the first change for storage in the blockchain as a second state, derived from the first state;
• retrieve the document at a second instance when the document is in a third status, the third status including a second change, performed subsequent to the first change;
• and
• link to the blockchain to retrieve a third state of the blockchain, the third state comprising the first change and the second change.
