1. A resource accommodation assistance system, comprising:
a first computing node of a first entity coupled to a network;
a second computing node of a second entity coupled to the network; and
a third computing node of an intermediary entity coupled to the network,
wherein each of the first computing node, the second computing node and the third computing node are configured to execute and manage transactions of a blockchain,
wherein the first computing node is configured to issue a first transaction to the blockchain indicating a first resource sale in which the first entity sells a first resource to the intermediary entity, the first resource being electric power,
wherein, in response to the first transaction, the first computing node is configured to receive a predetermined amount of tokens based on the first resource sold to the intermediary entity,
wherein the second computing node is configured to issue a second transaction to the blockchain indicating a first resource purchase in which the second entity purchases the first resource which the intermediary secures through the first resource sale,
wherein the first computing node is configured to issue a third transaction indicating a second resource purchase in which the first entity purchases a second resource from the second entity with the predetermined amount of tokens gained from the intermediary through the first resource sale, and
wherein a smart contract deployed on the blockchain carries out a transaction for payment to the first computing node based on the first transaction meeting predetermined requirements of the smart contract, the transaction for payment including transferring the predetermined amount of tokens to the first computing node.
