Private currency and trade engine

A system, including one or more non-transitory storage devices, the one or more non-transitory storage devices comprising:

• a supply mesh, including two or more value links, each of the two or more value links representing an entity;
• one or more computer-readable instructions, wherein the one or more computer-readable instructions, when executed by a processor, are configured to execute a trade engine, wherein the trade engine is configured to
• automatically trigger a value link condition based on a state of comparative inventory levels, expiration date, and other related conditions between a first value link and a second value link;
• send a notification of the triggered value link condition;
• determine that the first value link of the two or more value links fulfills a value link condition of the second value link,
• provide a transaction proposal to the first value link in response to the triggering of the value link condition and on determination of the first value link's ability to fulfill the value link condition of the second value link, wherein the transaction proposal includes an amount of private currency,
• receive, from the first value link, a transaction acceptance to the transaction proposal,
• transfer the amount of private currency from the second value link to the first value link, wherein, to transfer the amount of private currency from the second value link to the first value link, the trade engine is further configured to transfer the amount of private currency from the second value link to a computer-implemented escrow,
• confirm completion of a transaction between the first value link and the second value link, wherein the transaction is based on the transaction proposal, and
• in response to confirming completion of the transaction, transfer the amount of private currency from the computer-implemented escrow to the first value link;
• and
• a distributed ledger configured to track, for each value link of the two or more value links,
• an inventory amount, and
• a private currency balance.

• send a notification of the triggered value link condition;
• distribute, to the first value link of the two or more value links, a first amount of private currency;
• determine that the second value link of the two or more value links fulfills a value link condition of the first value link,
• in response to determining that the second value link fulfills the value link condition of the first value link, the triggering of the value link condition, and on determination of the second value link's ability to fulfill the value link condition of the first value link, provide a transaction proposal to the second value link, wherein the transaction proposal includes a second amount of private currency,
• receive, from the second value link, a transaction acceptance to the transaction proposal,
• transfer the second amount of private currency from the first value link to the second value link, wherein, to transfer the second amount of private currency from the first value link to the second value link, the trade engine is further configured to transfer the second amount of private currency from the first value link to a computer-implemented escrow,
• confirm completion of a transaction between the first value link and the second value link, wherein the transaction is based on the transaction proposal, and
• in response to confirming completion of the transaction, transfer the second amount of private currency from the computer-implemented escrow to the second value link.
