US Patent 11621947 Data messaging service with distributed ledger control

In a messaging server, processing circuitry receives a network packet that encapsulates a user message from a wireless User Equipment (UE) over a wireless communication network. In response to the network packet, the processing circuitry transfers the user message to ledger circuitry in the messaging server. The ledger circuitry executes a distributed ledger transaction based on a source domain and a destination domain in the user message. The ledger circuitry transfers the user message to the processing circuitry after the distributed ledger transaction. The processing circuitry receives the user message from the ledger circuitry and generates a new network packet for delivery to the destination domain that encapsulates the user message. The ledger circuitry transfers the new network packet that encapsulates the user message for delivery to the destination domain.
