1. A system for tracking and management of 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 inventory offered by an inventory provider, entries from the inventory provider regarding an availability status of the inventory, and data associated with transactions associated with the 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 system user to view the entries or the data associated with the transactions associated with the inventory stored in the distributed ledger, wherein the request includes an access code associated with at least one access level associated with the system user;
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.
