Ubiquitous, industry agnostic platform for automated, smart contract based, real time trusted transactions

A method performed by a computer system that includes a central computing device, memory, a hard drive, and a network, the computer system configured to communicate via the network with a centrally managed distributed blockchain computing system that includes multiple computing nodes, each computing node storing a copy, or a portion thereof, of the blockchain of the centrally managed distributed blockchain computing system, the method comprising:

• storing at least one ordered list of a plurality of data transaction requests that each include header data for a transaction, a type identifier and a quantity value;
• and
• storing a plurality of digital wallets that are each associated with different client entities, wherein each of the plurality of digital wallets is linked to at least one corresponding private cryptographic key and at least one identifier that has been generated based on the at least one private cryptographic key;
• receiving, via the central computing device, memory, hard drive and network and from different remote computing devices, electronic data messages that each include data transaction requests;
• adding a received first data transaction request, which is associated with a first digital wallet, to the at least one ordered list;
• receiving a second data transaction request which is associated with a second digital wallet;
• identifying a match between at least the stored first data transaction request and the received second data transaction request;
• generating a first hash identifier based on and corresponding to data included in the first digital wallet;
• generating a second hash identifier based on and corresponding to data included in the second digital wallet;
• generating a first blockchain transaction that is based on the first hash identifier and the second data transaction request and submitting, to at least one node of the centrally managed distributed blockchain computing system, the generated first blockchain transaction for inclusion into the blockchain of the centrally managed distributed blockchain computing system;
• generating a second blockchain transaction that is based on the second hash identifier and the first data transaction request and submitting, to at least one node of the centrally managed distributed blockchain computing system, the generated second blockchain transaction for inclusion into the blockchain of the centrally managed distributed blockchain computing system;
• verifying that the first blockchain transaction and the second blockchain transaction have been included into the blockchain;
• and
• based on verification that the first blockchain transaction and the second blockchain transaction have been included into the blockchain, updating at least one record of a database that is external to the centrally managed distributed blockchain computing system;
• wherein the centrally managed distributed blockchain computing system is used as a ledger as part of the dissemination of Layer 2 networking information across a routed network which is used for managing assets including the step or steps of buying and/or selling network access to users of the system, wherein the Layer 2 networking information is transmitted over a Layer 2 VPN solution using the public Internet for traffic, and wherein the centrally managed distributed blockchain computing system uses smart contracts associated with the build-up and tear down of network circuits to provide bandwidth on demand using the system for network transactions.
