Abstract
There are provided systems and methods for a database synchronization system in high security zones using blockchain. A service provider, such as an electronic payment provider, may maintain data stores across different zones that may need to synchronize data across these zones. As such, the subject technology provides for data storage using interplanetary file system (IPFS) technology in compliment with blockchain technology to create a secure, scalable and reliable data synchronization system. The IPFS may be implemented as a data storage layer and the blockchain may be implemented as a transaction management system, where the IPFS address of data files and synchronization points are stored in a distributed ledger. In various aspects, the integration of the IPFS network with the fabric network can enhance IPFS with the fabric network to create a more secure file sharing platform to improve the transfer of data and database synchronization between different zones.
