Abstract: A method for minimizing inter-bank settlement through incremental updates stored via blockchains includes storing three blockchains: a balance blockchain updated periodically that includes an available balance for a plurality of blockchain wallets, a credit blockchain that includes credits made to a blockchain wallet, and a debit blockchain that includes payments made from the blockchain wallet. Holds are placed on related transaction accounts to enable the blockchain wallets to utilize payments made thereto without the need for a transaction account, where the holds are only updated when necessary based on periodic updates to the balance blockchain, thus minimizing settlements performed by the issuing institutions, thus reducing inter-bank settlements and enabling payees to receive payments from a transaction account without their own.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authorizing a blockchain transaction. A verification network receives a transaction request for the blockchain transaction from a payer device including a first signature generated by a first private key associated with a payer. The verification network broadcasts a verification request to verification system(s) which assess pre-agreed threshold parameters. If the parameter(s) are satisfied, at least one verification system perfects the transaction by generating a second signature using a second private key, and broadcasts the transaction to the blockchain network. If the parameter(s) are not satisfied, verification offer(s) from among the verification system(s) including the second signature(s) are used to prompt the payer device to confirm the blockchain transaction by selecting at least one of the offer(s).
