Abstract:

Technologies are shown for shipping route selection involving receiving sender and recipient shipping information for an item to be shipped and obtaining shipping route options for the item based on the sender and recipient shipping information. The route options are provided for display and selection of an option. A routing data block is created for the item at an address on a blockchain that stores shipping information for each stage of the selected route. A shipping tag is encoded with the blockchain address and attached to the item. The tag can be scanned to obtain the blockchain address and request information for a next stage of the shipping route from the block. The next shipping information from the block is received and utilized to ship the item to a next geolocation. The next shipping information can be determined based on current conditions, such as weather, pricing and availability.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for generating tokenized reputation scores are described. In one example, a service provider system receives data describing user activity associated with a service provider account and determines that the user activity is eligible for a reputation reward of reputation tokens. The service provider system initiates a calculation of the reputation reward based on the data describing the user activity. Further, the service provider system verifies a transfer of reputation tokens to a blockchain account address associated with the service provider account, where the reputation tokens are based on the reputation reward calculated. The service provider system generates a reputation score based on an amount of reputation tokens associated with the blockchain account address and generates an indication of the reputation score. The indication of the reputation score is displayed in relation to a representation of the service provider account.

Abstract:

Technologies are shown for securing private information during shipping of an item storing shipping information at a blockchain address that includes a recipient geolocation address and generating a shipping label that includes a machine-readable pointer to the blockchain address. The label can be scanned to obtain the blockchain address and request the shipping information. In response to a request, the recipient geolocation address or a next intermediate shipper can be provided. The recipient can be notified to obtain authorization to release the recipient geolocation address or provide an alternative geolocation for delivery.
