Distributed Ledger Certification
Features are disclosed for an interface for verifiable tracking of an item through a supply chain using a distributed electronic ledger. For example, when an item is added to a catalog system, the item information may be included in the creation element at the start of the ledger for the item. A certification authority may be included to verify that items received correspond to the item included in the catalog based on one or more certification rules. If a certification rule is satisfied, a record may be added to indicate transfer of the item from a provider to the catalog system. The certification information may be dynamically presented with item description information such as in response to searches of the catalog system.

- 1. A computer-implemented method for certifying a distributed electronic ledger, the computer-implemented method comprising:
under control of one or more computing devices executing specific computer-executable instructions, storing, in at least two data storage devices, a distributed electronic ledger for an item, the distributed electronic ledger including at least one distributed electronic ledger record identifying a transaction for the item; receiving, from a certification device, a certification rule identifying:
(i) at least one distributed electronic ledger record type to certify a property of the item, and
(ii) certification display information to present after certification of the property;
receiving, from a user device, a search request including a criterion identifying the property of the item; receiving, from a catalog system, item information based at least in part on the criterion, the item information including an identifier for the item; retrieving, from one of the at least two data storage devices, the distributed electronic ledger for the item based at least in part on the identifier for the item; determining that the distributed electronic ledger for the item includes the at least one distributed electronic ledger record type identified by the certification rule; and causing display of the certification display information with the item information on the user device.
- 5. A computer-implemented method for certifying a distributed electronic ledger, the computer-implemented method comprising:
under control of one or more computing devices executing specific computer-executable instructions,
storing, in at least two data storage devices, a distributed electronic ledger for an item, the distributed electronic ledger including at least one distributed electronic ledger record identifying a transaction for the item;
receiving, from a certification device, a certification rule identifying at least one distributed electronic ledger record type to certify a property of the item;
determining that the distributed electronic ledger for the item includes the at least one distributed electronic ledger record type identified by the certification rule; and
adding a distributed electronic ledger record for the item to the distributed electronic ledger, the distributed electronic ledger record including certification information for the item.
- 14. A computer system comprising:
a computer-readable memory storing executable instructions; and one or more computer processors in communication with the computer-readable memory, wherein the one or more computer processors are configured to execute the executable instructions to at least:
store, in at least two data storage devices, a distributed electronic ledger for an item, the distributed electronic ledger including at least one distributed electronic ledger record identifying a transaction for the item;
receive, from a certification device, a certification rule identifying at least one distributed electronic ledger record type to certify a property of the item;
determine that the distributed electronic ledger for the item includes the at least one distributed electronic ledger record type identified by the certification rule; and
add a distributed electronic ledger record for the item to the distributed electronic ledger, the distributed electronic ledger record including certification information for the item.
