Abstract

Systems and methods for executing a distributed electronic transaction by a processing system are disclosed. One method includes receiving, by the processing system, a first transaction request from a first merchant system. The first transaction request may include a first exchange request and/or a distributed settlement agreement. The processing system may generate one or more tokens based on the first exchange request. The processing system may store a transaction amount based on the first exchange request in an exchange database. The processing system may transmit the one or more tokens to the first merchant system. The processing system may transmit one or more tokens based on the payment request to one or more second merchant systems.

Claims (55)

1. A method for executing a distributed electronic transaction by a processing system, comprising:

receiving, by the processing system, a first transaction request from a first merchant system, wherein the transaction request includes a first exchange request and a distributed settlement agreement;

verifying, by the processing system, account information associated with the first merchant system;

generating, by the processing system, one or more tokens indicating values associated with the first exchange request, wherein the one or more tokens include encrypted information;

storing, by the processing system, a transaction amount based on the first exchange request in an exchange database;

transmitting, by the processing system, the one or more tokens to the first merchant system;

updating, by the processing system, the account information associated with the first merchant system based, at least in part, on synchronous monitoring of the one or more transmitted tokens;

transmitting, by the processing system, the one or more tokens based on the first transaction request to one or more second merchant systems; and

updating, by the processing system, account information associated with the second merchant systems based, at least in part, on synchronous monitoring of the one or more transmitted tokens.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the distributed settlement agreement is between the first merchant system and the one or more second merchant systems, and wherein identical copies of the distributed settlement agreement are disseminated in a peer-to-peer network.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one feature of the distributed settlement agreement is verified and stored in a point-to-point distributed or shared ledger, and wherein the at least one stored feature is hashed.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first exchange request comprises a request to exchange a first currency into the one or more tokens in the first currency.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

receiving, by the processing system, a second exchange request from the first merchant system; and

generating, by the processing system, one or more tokens based on the second exchange request.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second exchange request comprises a request to exchange the one or more tokens in the first currency into one or more tokens in a second currency.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

updating, by the processing system, the distributed settlement agreement based on the first transaction request.

8. A system comprising:

one or more computer readable media storing instructions for executing a distributed electronic transaction; and

one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by a processing system, a first transaction request from a first merchant system, wherein the transaction request includes a first exchange request and a distributed settlement agreement;

verifying, by the processing system, account information associated with the first merchant system;

generating, by the processing system, one or more tokens indicating values associated with the first exchange request, wherein the one or more tokens include encrypted information;

storing, by the processing system, a transaction amount based on the first exchange request in an exchange database;

transmitting, by the processing system, the one or more tokens to the first merchant system;

updating, by the processing system, the account information associated with the first merchant system based, at least in part, on synchronous monitoring of the one or more transmitted tokens;

transmitting, by the processing system, the one or more tokens based on the first transaction request to one or more second merchant systems; and

updating, by the processing system, account information associated with the second merchant systems based, at least in part, on synchronous monitoring of the one or more transmitted tokens.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the distributed settlement agreement is between the first merchant system and the one or more second merchant systems, and wherein identical copies of the distributed settlement agreement are disseminated in a peer-to-peer network.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein least one feature of the distributed settlement agreement is verified and stored in a point-to-point distributed or shared ledger, and wherein the at least one stored feature is hashed.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first exchange request comprises a request to exchange a first currency into the one or more tokens in the first currency.

12. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:

receiving, by the processing system, a second exchange request from the first merchant system; and

generating, by the exchange processing system, one or more tokens based on the second exchange request.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second exchange request comprises a request to exchange the one or more tokens in the first currency into one or more tokens in a second currency.

14. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

updating, by the processing system, the distributed settlement agreement based on the first transaction request.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for executing a distributed electronic transaction, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, causing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by a processing system, a first transaction request from a first merchant system, wherein the transaction request includes a first exchange request and a distributed settlement agreement;

verifying, by the processing system, account information associated with the first merchant system;

generating, by the processing system, one or more tokens indicating values associated with the first exchange request, wherein the one or more tokens include encrypted information;

storing, by the processing system, a transaction amount based on the first exchange request in an exchange database;

transmitting, by the processing system, the one or more tokens to the first merchant system;

updating, by the processing system, the account information associated with the first merchant system based, at least in part, on synchronous monitoring of the one or more transmitted tokens;

transmitting, by the processing system, the one or more tokens based on the first transaction request to one or more second merchant systems; and

updating, by the processing system, account information associated with the second merchant systems based, at least in part, on synchronous monitoring of the one or more transmitted tokens.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein identical copies of the distributed settlement agreement are disseminated in a peer-to-peer network between the first merchant system and the one or more second merchant systems, and wherein at least one feature of the distributed settlement agreement is verified and stored in a point-to-point distributed or shared ledger.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first exchange request comprises a request to exchange a first currency into the one or more tokens in the first currency.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , the operations further comprising:

receiving, by the processing system, a second exchange request from the first merchant system; and

generating, by the processing system, one or more tokens based on the second exchange request.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the second exchange request comprises a request to exchange the one or more tokens in the first currency into one or more tokens in a second currency.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , the operations further comprising:

updating, by the processing system, the distributed settlement agreement based on the first transaction request.
