Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to multicomputer systems and methods for data authentication using a blockchain approach. Any full node computing device in a network, including a data authentication and event execution computing platform, may receive a data block from one or more sources. The computing platform may parse the data block to identify a key including metadata associated with the data block. Then the computing platform may determine that this key forms a key pair with another key associated with the most recently added block to the blockchain. Once this determination has been made, the block may be added to the blockchain. Thereafter, the computing platform may generate a notification indicating that the block has been added to the blockchain and may transmit the notification to one or more network devices.
