Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for securing data on blockchains may include receiving a smart contract from a third-party for a designated party and a data set, transmitting, to a network of nodes, a request to add the smart contract and the data set to an immutable distributed ledger, receiving a digital signature from the third-party, receiving a digital signature from the designated party, validating the smart contract, the digital signature from the third-party, and the digital signature from the designated party, and in response to validating the smart contract, the digital signature from the third-party and the digital signature from the designated party, adding the smart contract and the data set to the immutable distributed ledger. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
