Abstract
Systems and methods for continuous tracking of media file playback. First, transaction data from a platform stream is received. The transaction data corresponds to a request to play a media file from an end user, as well as continuous play information. Next, the transaction data is verified. Then, the verified transaction data is signed using a cryptographic signature. Next, it is determined whether the transaction data corresponds to a valid blockchain transaction. If the transaction data corresponds to a valid blockchain transaction, the valid blockchain transaction is recorded to a blockchain. Last, the transaction data and the cryptographic signature are transmitted to one or more validation nodes.
