1. A method comprising: (4) (7)

receiving, by a processing node, a request to perform an action with respect to an item, the request including at least an item identifier;

identifying, by the processing node based on the item identifier, a blockchain associated with the item, the blockchain including a series of transaction records;

identifying, by the processing node from a transaction record of the series of transaction records, a contact information for a current owner of the item;

providing, by the processing node, a notification of the requested action to the current owner via the contact information;

completing, by the processing node, the requested action upon receiving a response to the notification;

generating, by the processing node, a new transaction record based on the action; and

appending, by the processing node, the new transaction record to the blockchain.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising notifying at least one of an originator of the request or the current owner of a completion of the transaction. (2) (0)

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the contact information for the current owner is identified from the latest transaction record in the series of transaction records. (0)

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the contact information comprises at least one of a phone number or an email address. (0)

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the requested action is completed upon detecting that a fulfillment of a condition indicated in the response has been met. (0)

8. A processing node comprising: (3) (2)

one or more processors; and

a memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processing node to: receive a request to perform an action with respect to an item, the request including at least an item identifier;

identify, based on the item identifier, a blockchain associated with the item, the blockchain including a series of transaction records;

identify, from a transaction record of the series of transaction records, a contact information for a current owner of the item;

provide a notification of the requested action to the current owner via the contact information;

complete the requested action upon receiving a response to the notification;

generate a new transaction record based on the action; and

append the new transaction record to the blockchain.

9. The processing node of claim 8, wherein at least a portion of the information included in the new transaction record is encrypted. (0)

10. The processing node of claim 8, wherein the instructions further cause the processing node to determine whether an originator of the request is authorized to perform the requested action. (0)

11. The processing node of claim 8, wherein the blockchain is selected from at least a public blockchain or a private blockchain. (3) (0)

15. A client device comprising: (4) (3)

at least one input sensor;

one or more processors; and

a memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the client device to: obtain, via the at least one input sensor, an identifier for an item;

generate, based on input received from a user of the client device, a request to perform an action with respect to the item, the request including at least the identifier;

transmit the request to an item registry network, the request causing the item registry network to:

identify an item registry associated with the item from a plurality of item registries, the item registry including a series of transaction records; and

complete the action with respect to the item using information included in at least one transaction record of the series of transaction records; and

receive a response to the request that indicates completion of the action.

16. The client device of claim 15, wherein the instructions further cause the client device to: (0) (3)

17. The client device of claim 15, wherein the action is an action to obtain ownership of the item. (1) (0)

19. The client device of claim 15, wherein the instructions are executed via a mobile application installed upon the client device. (0)
