Claim 14:
15. The one or more media of claim 1, further storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause:
verifying that the blockchain ledger including the first set of information is valid, wherein verifying that the blockchain ledger is valid comprises:
verifying that data of a particular block matches a first hash of the particular block as stored by the particular block;
verifying that the first hash of the particular block as stored by the particular block matches a second hash of the particular block as stored by another block following the particular block;
obtaining a first copy of the blockchain ledger from the first node;
obtaining a second copy of the blockchain ledger from a fourth node; and
verifying that the first copy of the blockchain ledger matches the second copy of the blockchain ledger;

initiating a transaction, using at least a fifth node of the plurality of nodes, to use the first associated funding type to obtain funding using the first invoice; and
generating a second recommendation for obtaining the target funding amount, by the target funding date, using a second subset of the second plurality of invoices issued by the particular entity, wherein the second recommendation indicates using both the first invoice and the second invoice;
wherein:
the first node, the second node, the third node, and the fifth node are the same;
the prediction model comprises a first subsidiary model to predict a percentage discount at which the invoice would be paid, by a debtor associated with the invoice, before a due date associated with the invoice;
the prediction comprises a second subsidiary model to predict a percentage loss at which the invoice would be purchased before the due date associated with the invoice;
selecting the first invoice without selecting the second invoice is responsive to determining that the first predicted cost for the first invoice is less than the second predicted cost for the second invoice;
the first set of information associated with the first plurality of invoices comprises: a transaction committed on the blockchain ledger indicating that a third invoice was sold at a particular loss;
the second set of information associated with the first invoice comprises: a transaction committed on the blockchain ledger indicating that a debtor associated with the first invoice made a payment on a third invoice to another entity before a due date of the third invoice; and
the recommendation indicates an amount of funding to be obtained from each of a plurality of funding types, wherein the plurality of funding types comprises at least two of: early payment of an invoice, invoice factoring, and line of credit.
