    "patent_abstract": "Techniques are described herein for providing a distributed cyber threat intelligence platform. An example system includes a set of cyber threat intelligence content stored on a distributed ledger accessible by one or more nodes. The example system further includes an artificial intelligence (AI) engine configured to: receive a node input from a new device indicating a node type to be established for the new device, generate one or more responses to the node input, and establish a new node for the new device on the distributed ledger that corresponds to the node type. The example system further includes a smart contracts engine configured to: receive, from the new node, a second input associated with cyber threat intelligence, store the second input in the distributed ledger as part of the set of cyber threat intelligence content, and transmit the second input to the one or more nodes.",
