Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for generating and using a block chain distributed network for facilitating the conversion of an instrument into a verified secured instrument. The block chain database comprises a distributed ledger that is updated with resource availability based on database node communication. The resource availability is compared to a distribution amount associated with an instrument presented to a receiver for resource distribution. Prior to resource distribution the block chain distributed network confirms the resource availability and marks the resources as unavailable. As such, the invention converts instrument into a verified secure instrument based on an identification of sufficient resources available in association with the instrument.
