Abstract:
An example operation may include one or more of initializing a smart contract (SC) and appending it to a blockchain, registering each of a plurality of participants as a party to the SC, receiving from at least some of the participants an encrypted confidential input commitment, appending the encrypted input commitments to the blockchain, decrypting the encrypted input commitments, executing by the SC at least one business rule using the decrypted input commitments to obtain a business rule result, and identifying a prevailing participant based at least in part on the business rule result.
