update the flag rating associated with the at least one flagged wallet matched with at least one of the previously flagged wallets;
receive, from a user of the computing device, entry of information corresponding to a network function request involving the at least one flagged wallet, wherein the network function request and the first plurality of network function requests include one or more of balance sheet transaction requests and smart contract operation requests; and
