Systems and methods for contextual messaging and information routing in a distributed ledger network

A system, comprising:

• a distributed ledger network;
• and a plurality of nodes in the distributed ledger network, each node executing a distributed application;
• wherein:
• a sending node distributed application receives a message or communication from a sending entity;
• the sending node distributed application identifies a context for the message or communication;
• the sending node distributed application retrieves, from each of the other nodes in the distributed ledger network, an identification of payment systems supported by the other nodes in the distributed ledger network;
• the sending node distributed application identifies potential receiving entities for the message or communication based on the context and the identification of the payment systems supported by the other nodes;
• the sending node distributed application retrieves routing preferences for the sending entity;
• the sending node distributed application applies the routing preferences for the sending entity to identify a receiving entity from the potential receiving entities;
• and
• the sending node distributed application sends the message or communication to a receiving node for the receiving entity using the routing preferences, wherein the message is sent using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Remote Procedure Call (RPC).

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, including instructions stored thereon, which when read and executed by one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform steps comprising:

• receiving a message or communication from a sending entity;
• identifying a context for the message or communication;
• retrieving from each of the other nodes in a distributed ledger network an identification of payment systems supported by the other nodes in a distributed ledger network;
• identifying potential receiving entities for the message or communication based on the context and the identification of the payment systems supported by the other nodes;
• retrieving routing preferences for the sending entity;
• applying the routing preferences for the sending entity to identify a receiving entity from the potential receiving entities;
• and
• sending the message or communication to a receiving node for the receiving entity using the routing preferences, wherein the message is sent using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
