Abstract:
A blockchain-based multi-merchant loyalty point partnership system may include a blockchain API host that receives a request to create a partnership smart contract for a multi-merchant loyalty point partnership. The request may specify various partnership parameters to include in the partnership smart contract. The blockchain API host may create the partnership smart contract and write the partnership smart contract to a blockchain. One or more qualified merchants may join the partnership smart contract to make the partnership active. In response to a customer completing a plurality of purchases that complete the partnership parameters of the partnership smart contract, the system may issue the customer a purchase reward which may include a loyalty point payout.
