Abstract:
A device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive, by a blockchain node, a content consumption report from a user device relating to a digital content item provided by a content provider device to the user device and add content consumption data from the content consumption report to a blockchain associated with the blockchain node. The processor may be further configured to receive, by the blockchain node, a request for consumption information relating to the digital content item stored in the blockchain from a rights-holder associated with the digital content item; verify, by the blockchain node, that the rights-holder is authorized to access the requested consumption information; and provide, by the blockchain node, the requested consumption information from the blockchain to the rights-holder.
