1. A computer-implemented method of securely establishing control of a resource in a distributed ledger, wherein the distributed ledger comprises a first shard instantiated on one or more first processor(s) of a first system, the first shard configured to respond to an instruction originating from a first party, the distributed ledger further comprising a second shard, the second shard instantiated on one or more second processor(s), the second shard configured to respond to an instruction originating from a second party, the method comprising:
creating, by means of the publishing of a record by the first system, the resource,
wherein the publishing of the record occurs in response to an instruction originating from the first party,
wherein the publishing of the record is to the first shard of the ledger, and
wherein the publishing of the record establishes that control of the resource resides with the second party.
