SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UPDATING A DISTRIBUTED LEDGER BASED ON PARTIAL VALIDATIONS OF TRANSACTIONS

The systems and methods described herein relate to processing financial transactions using a computer network that stores a distributed ledger, and particularly, to updating the distributed ledger based on data messages received from validation servers that each store a portion of the ledger corresponding to a respective asset. The systems and methods described herein employ the distributed ledger to control visibility of transactions to the general marketplace, but still provide swift and assured completion of transactions and visibility and audit capability for regulators.
