1. A method comprising:
identifying, by a first entity of a 5G network, network slice information to be shared in the 5G network, wherein the network slice information is associated with a software-as-a-service provider and comprises policy information or network slice utilization information for a user equipment device;
sending, by the first entity of the 5G network, a signed Holochain transaction indicative of the network slice information to a second entity of the 5G network, wherein the second entity of the 5G network generates a mutually-signed Holochain transaction by signing the signed Holochain transaction;
receiving and validating, at the first entity of the 5G network, the mutually-signed Holochain transaction from the second entity of the 5G network, with hash-chains before publishing the mutually-signed Holochain transaction with a distributed hash table; and
publishing, by the first entity of the 5G network, the received and validated mutually-signed Holochain transaction to the distributed hash table by utilizing cryptographic hashes.
