Systems and methods for loyalty point distribution

A loyalty point network, comprising:

• a blockchain network;
• a loyalty partner site;
• a loyalty portal that is configured to at least:
• receive a request for a partnership smart contract from a loyalty partner;
• and
• retrieve partner data from a local partner repository of the loyalty portal based at least in part on a partner identifier associated with the loyalty partner, the partner data being associated with the loyalty partner;
• a host computing device that includes a processor and memory, the host computing device executing the partnership smart contract to control a data flow in the loyalty point network from the loyalty partner site to the blockchain network based at least in part on a plurality of parameters stored in association with the partnership smart contract;
• and
• the memory having machine executable instructions, that when executed, causes the host computing device to at least:
• retrieve the partnership smart contract for the request based at least in part on the partner data and a blockchain uniform resource locator (URL) associated with a location of the partnership smart contract in the blockchain network;
• transmit the partnership smart contract to the loyalty partner site of the loyalty partner;
• receive, by an application programming interface (API) of the host computing device, an enrollment request for the loyalty partner site, the enrollment request comprising a partner identifier for the loyalty partner site;
• transmit, by the partnership smart contract of the host computing device, the enrollment request for the loyalty partner site to a plurality of consensus participants associated with the blockchain network;
• receive, by the API of the host computing device, a loyalty account and transaction data for a completed purchase from the loyalty partner site;
• validate, by the partnership smart contract of the host computing device, the transaction data meet a purchase requirement parameter included in the partnership smart contract in response to the partnership smart contract receiving the transaction data;
• store, by the partnership smart contract of the host computing device, a transaction record that indicates that the loyalty account has the transaction data for meeting the purchase requirement parameter;
• and
• transmit, by the partnership smart contract of the host computing device, the transaction record to the plurality of consensus participants associated with the blockchain network.

A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying machine executable instructions which, when executed by a loyalty point network that comprises a computing device, a loyal portal, and a blockchain network, causes the loyalty point network to at least:

• receive, by the loyalty portal, a request for a partnership smart contract from a loyalty partner;
• retrieve, by the loyalty portal, partner data from a local partner repository of the loyalty portal based at least in part on a partner identifier associated with the loyalty partner, the partner data being associated with the loyalty partner;
• retrieve, by the computing device, the partnership smart contract for the request based at least in part on the partner data and a blockchain uniform resource locator (URL) associated with a location of the partnership smart contract in the blockchain network;
• transmit, by the computing device, the partnership smart contract to a loyalty partner site of the loyalty partner;
• receive, by an application programming interface (API) of the computing device, an enrollment request for the loyalty partner site, the enrollment request comprising a partner identifier for the loyalty partner site;
• transmit, by the partnership smart contract of the computing device, the partnership smart contract of the enrollment request for the loyalty partner site to a plurality of consensus participants associated with the blockchain network;
• receive, by the API of the computing device, a loyalty account and transaction data for a completed purchase from a loyalty partner site, the computing device executing the partnership smart contract to control a data flow in the loyalty point network from the loyalty partner site to a blockchain network based at least in part on a plurality of parameters stored in association with the partnership smart contract;
• validate, by the partnership smart contract of the computing device, the transaction data meets a purchase requirement parameter included in the partnership smart contract in response to the partnership smart contract receiving the transaction data;
• store, by the partnership smart contract of the computing device, a transaction record that indicates that the loyalty account has the transaction data for meeting the purchase requirement parameter;
• and
• transmit, by the partnership smart contract of the computing device, the transaction record to the plurality of consensus participants associated with the blockchain network.
