Abstract
A blockchain of transactions may be referenced for various purposes and may be later accessed by interested parties for ledger verification. One example method of operation may include reading a tag affixed to an asset, transmitting a request to update an asset status of the asset in a blockchain, receiving validation confirmation based on content of the request, and updating the asset status of the asset in the blockchain.
