A method for anonymously communicating data that defines a token from a source system to a destination system via a block-chain distributed database includes receiving, at a token distribution system, request information from a source system. The request information specifies source identifying information and an address for receiving one or more tokens. The token distribution system determines one or more tokens for allocation to the source system and communicates the allocated tokens to the address defined in the request information via a zero-knowledge transaction. The source system moves the tokens to a different address for communicating a block-chain transaction and communicates the tokens at the different address to a destination address associated with the destination system via a block-chain transaction.
