An Autonomous Exchange via Entrusted Ledger (AXEL) blockchain is discussed herein. The AXEL blockchain enables users to perform transactions in a private setting while enabling the transaction records thereof to be verified by other network users without publicly divulging the contents or details of the transaction records. The token identification system and method allows the tokens to carry an immutable identification to prevent negative blockchain occurrences such as double spending. A payment methodology allowing integration of external financial institutions with user owned and managed wallet. The AXEL blockchain can also interface with and utilize a distributed database to create an immutable record of each transaction while providing a complete backup of the transactions that occur within the system and on the AXEL blockchain. A method for protecting the private key ensures wallet access is only granted to the account owner.
