Autonomous exchange via entrusted ledger immutable distributed database
An Autonomous Exchange via Entrusted Ledger (AXEL) blockchain is discussed herein. The AXEL blockchain enables users to perform transactions in a private setting while enabling the transaction records thereof to be verified by other network users without publicly divulging the contents or details of the transaction records. The token identification system and method allows the tokens to carry an immutable identification to prevent negative blockchain occurrences such as double spending. A payment methodology allowing integration of external financial institutions with user owned and managed wallet. The AXEL blockchain can also interface with and utilize a distributed database to create an immutable record of each transaction while providing a complete backup of the transactions that occur within the system and on the AXEL blockchain.

3. The decentralized data storage system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more of the one or more second hashes stored in the database and the blockchain are compared one or more times to confirm integrity of one or more of the one or more files when activity occurs for the one or more of the one or more files.
4. The decentralized data storage system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the one or more third hashes stored in the database and the blockchain are compared one or more times to confirm integrity of one or more of the one or more files.
5. The decentralized data storage system of claim 1 , wherein the activity of the one or more files comprises file transactions selected from the group consisting of access, storage, transfer, and sharing of the one or more files.
6. The decentralized data storage system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first hashes are generated with at least a portion of the file activity information and the one or more locations.
7. The decentralized data storage system of claim 1 , wherein the database is a distributed database.
8. The decentralized data storage system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the plurality of storage devices are connected via distinct networks.
9. A decentralized data storage system for a plurality of node devices having one or more storage devices, the decentralized data storage system comprising:
a blockchain that verifies authenticity of one or more transactions between two or more nodes, wherein the blockchain generates one or more first hashes with at least transaction information, stores the one or more first hashes in one or more blocks on the blockchain, and sends the one or more first hashes to a database; and
a database that receives the one or more first hashes from the blockchain and stores the one or more first hashes;
wherein at least a portion of the blockchain is stored on the one or more storage devices of the plurality of node devices;
wherein the database generates one or more second hashes with at least the one or more first hashes, stores the one or more second hashes, and the one or more second hashes are sent to and stored in the blockchain.
10. The decentralized data storage system of claim 9 , wherein one or more of the one or more first hashes stored in the database and the blockchain are compared one or more times to verify authenticity of the one or more transactions.
11. The decentralized data storage system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more of the one or more first hashes stored in the database and the blockchain are compared one or more times to verify authenticity of the one or more transactions whenever a transaction occurs.
12. The decentralized data storage system of claim 9 , wherein one or more of the one or more second hashes stored in the database and the blockchain are compared one or more times to verify authenticity of the one or more transactions.
13. The decentralized data storage system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more second hashes are generated with at least the one or more first hashes and the transaction information.
14. The decentralized data storage system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more transactions comprise file transactions selected from the group consisting of data storage and retrieval.
15. The decentralized data storage system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more first hashes are generated with at least the transaction information and one or more locations of one or more files involved in the one or more transactions.
16. The decentralized data storage system of claim 9 , wherein the database is a distributed database.
17. A method for confirming integrity of one or more files at a decentralized data storage system storing the one or more files at one or more locations, the one or more files having file activity information recording activity of the one or more files associated therewith, the method comprising:
generating one or more first hashes with at least a portion of the file activity information;
generating one or more second hashes with at least the one or more first hashes;
generating one or more third hashes with at least the one or more second hashes, wherein the one or more second hashes and the one or more third hashes are generated by different devices;
storing the one or more third hashes in a database and in one or more new blocks of a blockchain; and
comparing the one or more third hashes in the database and the one or more third hashes in the one or more new blocks of the blockchain one or more times to confirm integrity of the one or more files.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the one or more third hashes in the database and the one or more third hashes in the one or more new blocks of the block chain are compared one or more times to confirm the integrity of the one or more files whenever activity occurs for the one or more files.
