Abstract
This disclosure relates to, among other things, systems and methods for managing and/or verifying the integrity and/or provenance of digital content and/or media. Embodiments of the systems and methods disclosed herein may provide a mechanism for generating a secure records relating to digital content and/or other media by capturing records relating to creation and/or modification actions performed in connection with digital content and/or media and storing such records in a ledger. Trusted services that examine captured information recorded in trusted databases and/or ledgers and generate derivative information relating to associated content and/or media. When viewing content, trusted content applications may query the trusted service for derivative information relating to the content and/or media, providing users with an indication of the derivative information in connection with content and/or media playback.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media for implementing a scalable, secure, efficient, and adaptable distributed digital ledger transaction network. Indeed, the disclosed systems can reduce storage and processing requirements, improve security of implementing computing devices and underlying digital assets, accommodate a wide variety of different digital programs (or “smart contracts”), and scale to accommodate billions of users and associated digital transactions. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a host of features that improve storage, account/address management, digital transaction execution, consensus, and synchronization processes. The disclosed systems can also utilize a new programming language that improves efficiency and security of the distributed digital ledger transaction network.
