1. A system for tracking, management, and assuring fulfillment of tax payments to government entities based on earnings from commercial inventory, comprising:
a network of nodes communicably coupled to endpoints in a distributed network,
wherein the network of nodes maintains a distributed ledger with entries from one or more endpoints,
wherein the entries include: entries from customers relating to commercial inventory offered by an inventory provider, entries from the commercial inventory provider regarding an availability status of the commercial inventory, and earnings from sales of the commercial inventory, and
wherein a marker is associated with each entry identifying an access level needed to review the entry;
a communications component supporting at least one of: receiving a request from a tax auditor to view earnings entries associated with sales of commercial inventory stored in the distributed ledger, wherein the request includes an access code associated with at least one access level associated with the tax auditor, or paying tax to government authorities;
an access control layer to evaluate the access code in the request received via the communications component and to identify segments within the one or more entries stored on the distributed ledger that are accessible with the at least one access level provided in the request; and
an access platform or decentralized application to generate a customized view of the segments within the one or more entries maintained in the distributed ledger.
