  • Patent number: 11983706
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for modeling and interpreting a modeled digital asset and its evolution with respect to the rights of a plurality of parties, the method comprising: executing an await function instance no more than once using one of at least one choice defined therein for disposition of the digital asset with respect to the rights of at least one of the plurality of parties, said await function instance incorporated upon the consent of the affected parties to fulfil a configured function instance associated with the at least one choice; executing an agree function instance that requires the consent of at least one of the plurality of parties to execute; and storing the results of the executed function instances in an append-only ledger.

  • Patent number: 11924350
    Abstract: A system and method for selectively transmitting cryptographically signed information to a limited number of parties of an agreement using one or more processors. For each party affected by a decision of a first party, the processors generate a token according to a function of both (i) a cryptographic key of the given party and (ii) a cryptographic key of a second party, and transmit to respective private data stores of each party (a) the first party's decision, (b) the generated token, and (c) an identity of the second party. The decision of the first party and the generated tokens are transmitted to the private data stores of only the parties that are affected by the decision of the first party.

  • Publication number: 20230412389
    Abstract: A computer system comprising: a global synchronization log that stores public data associated with private data wherein the private data is stored in one or more private data stores separate from the global synchronization log; and one or more nodes operable in a mode as a writer node that has access to write the public data associated with private data to the global synchronization log. A reader node may verify the public data on the global synchronization log with private data stored in one or more private data stores.

  • Publication number: 20230281611
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for modeling and interpreting a modeled digital asset and its evolution with respect to the rights of a plurality of parties, the method comprising: executing an await function instance no more than once using one of at least one choice defined therein for disposition of the digital asset with respect to the rights of at least one of the plurality of parties, said await function instance incorporated upon the consent of the affected parties to fulfil a configured function instance associated with the at least one choice; executing an agree function instance that requires the consent of at least one of the plurality of parties to execute; and storing the results of the executed function instances in an append-only ledger.
