1. A method, implemented on a machine having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform capable of connecting to a network for evaluating a conversion, the method comprising:
sending, by a publisher to an advertiser within a closed loop blockchain, a public key;
receiving, by the publisher from the advertiser within the closed loop blockchain, a smart attribute evaluation package (SAEP) key associated with an SAEP that is posted on the closed loop blockchain by the advertiser in response to a signal indicating the conversion associated with an advertisement previously displayed; and
within a time-out period,
determining that there is a match between first information included in the SAEP related to the conversion and second information related to the advertisement stored in a database of the publisher,
generating a claim for the conversion, and
transmitting, by the publisher to the SAEP, based on the public key and the SAEP key, and within the closed loop blockchain, the claim to be evaluated on whether a reward is to be allocated to the publisher.
