1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by one or more processing circuits, a digital asset comprising a dataset;
generating, by the one or more processing circuits, a plurality of data structures and a data object based on the dataset;
storing, by the one or more processing circuits, at least one of the plurality of data structures on a first network node of a plurality of network nodes, wherein the first network node stores a first data payload comprising at least a first signature and a cryptographic output of a cryptographic function;
configuring, by the one or more processing circuits, the data object in a first block on a network ledger;
receiving, by the one or more processing circuits, a request associated with the digital asset;
generating, by the one or more processing circuits, a new data object associated with the request;
updating, by the one or more processing circuits, the network ledger to comprise the new data object, wherein updating comprises:
generating a second block comprising at least the new data object;
creating a sub-chain within the network ledger, wherein the sub-chain comprises at least one retroactive data object traceable to the new data object; and
updating a present state of the network ledger.
