1. A method to connect a user application in a wireless User Equipment (UE) to a user application server, the method comprising:
exchanging user data between the user application in the wireless UE and a wireless network slice over an edge application server;
exchanging the user data between the edge application server and the user application server over the wireless network slice;
matching network information related to the exchange of the user data with an expected network value and interacting with distributed ledger nodes to reach a consensus based on the matching, wherein the consensus is reached when a minimum amount of the distributed ledger nodes match the network information with the expected network value; and
in response to the consensus, determining a trust level for the exchange of the user data between the user application in the wireless UE and the user application server.
