Representing a contingent asset

A computing infrastructure system, the computing infrastructure system comprising:

• an object owner computing entity comprising a first interface, a first local memory, and a first processor operably coupled to the first interface and the first local memory;
• a marketplace computing entity comprising a second interface, a second local memory, and a second processor operably coupled to the second interface and the second local memory;
• an asset authenticity computing entity comprising a third interface, a third local memory, and a third processor operably coupled to the third interface and the third local memory;
• the second local memory storing instructions that, when executed by the second processor, cause the second processor to perform the following functions:
• obtain, via the second interface from the object owner computing entity, a digital record representing a contingent asset, the digital record comprising an asset identifier, a lifecycle status indictor, a potential payer liability level, a payer identifier, a seller identifier, and an owner identifier, wherein the digital record further includes a representation that the payer identifier is obligated for the potential payer liability level to at least one of the seller identifier and the owner identifier when the lifecycle status indictor transitions from a pending status level to an approved status level in response to a contingency aspect of the contingent asset being satisfied;
• identify the asset authenticity computing entity based on at least one of the asset identifier, the payer identifier, and the seller identifier of the contingent asset;
• issue, via the second interface to the asset authenticity computing entity, an authenticity indicator request, the authenticity indicator request including one or more of the asset identifier, the payer identifier, and the seller identifier of the contingent asset;
• obtain, via the second interface from the asset authenticity computing entity, an authenticity indicator in response to the authenticity indicator request, the authenticity indicator further comprising the pending status level;
• determine that the authenticity indicator associated with the contingent asset from the asset authenticity computing entity is the same as the lifecycle status indictor of the digital record representing the contingent asset;
• generate a smart contract to indicate availability of the contingent asset to include available terms and the authenticity indicator;
• obtain, via the second interface, a portion of a copy of an object distributed ledger;
• hash the smart contract utilizing a receiving public key associated with a receiving computing entity of the object distributed ledger to produce a next transaction hash value;
• encrypt the next transaction hash value utilizing a private key of the marketplace computing entity to produce a next transaction signature;
• generate a next block of a blockchain of the object distributed ledger to include the smart contract and the next transaction signature;
• and
• cause, via the second interface, inclusion of the next block in the object distributed ledger.
