Abstract: A computer method and system for automated storage and retrieval of data utilizes blockchain technology to enhance security and efficiency of data storage and access. When a data object is stored in a data storage system, a corresponding storage address is written onto a blockchain. When the data object is to be retrieved, the storage address is read from the blockchain and the data object is retrieved from the storage location.

Abstract: Computer methods, apparatuses, and graphical user interfaces include placing one or more electronic messages in cloud storage that is defined by or accessed by a blockchain data structure.

Abstract: A computer method for establishing a commodity price index includes receiving, via a web server, transactions for a plurality of first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts, and recording, with the web server, settlement prices for the plurality of the first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts on a distributed ledger. The computer method includes reading, with the server computer, from the distributed ledger, at least a portion of the first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts settlement prices and determining a current electronic currency index price from the at least a portion of the first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts settlement prices. The computer method includes displaying the current electronic currency index price on an electronic display.

Abstract: A computer method and graphical user interface (GUI) for settlement of a commodity contract includes displaying, on an electronic display of a first user device, a GUI for receiving input of information related to a particular commodity smart contract for transfer of a commodity, receiving input data including information related to commodity attributes from a first user via the GUI, displaying a commodity price field in the GUI, transferring the received input data to a server computer, displaying a commit object in the GUI receiving input from the commit object, transmitting a commitment to the server computer to cause the server computer to establish a smart commodity contract for the commodity, and displaying, in the GUI on the electronic display, a receipt acknowledgement object indicating that the smart contract is established and the first user is obligated to abide by the smart contract.

Abstract: A computer method for distributing a cost of enforcing a proprietary rights asset. The computer method includes presenting at least summary information about a proprietary rights asset on an electronic display; offering, on the electronic display, at least fractional ownership of the proprietary rights asset in the form of a proprietary rights asset blockchain token; displaying an allocation of funds received in exchange for the proprietary rights asset blockchain token, including an allocation for future enforcement of proprietary rights corresponding to the proprietary rights asset on the electronic display; receiving an order to exchange a cryptographic currency value for the proprietary rights asset blockchain token; performing the exchange; and transferring the allocated funds to an enforcement account.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for the collection, monetization, validation, continuous updating, archiving for bilateral trades of greenhouse gases and environmental rights. The method includes hosting, on a processing server, a listing of one or more parcels of land with contractual rights to develop carbon offset credits; receiving, by the processing server, metrics on the one or more parcels of land with the contractual rights to develop carbon offset credits; and verifying, on the processing server, that the one or more parcels of land with the contractual rights to develop carbon offset credits comply with one or more conditions for development and potential entitlement to carbon offset credits based on at least the received metrics.

Abstract: A system provides an immutable record of human creative output as one or more secure disclosure threads. The immutable record may be stored on a blockchain. Addresses to the data corresponding to the one or more secure disclosure threads may be encrypted and stored on a blockchain. The immutable record and the addresses to the data may be stored on the same blockchain. The immutable record and the addresses to the data may be stored on different blockchains.

Abstract: A computer method for establishing a commodity price index includes receiving, via a web server, transactions for a plurality of first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts, and recording, with a server computer operatively coupled to the web server, settlement prices for the plurality of the first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts on a distributed ledger. The computer method includes reading, with the server computer, from the distributed ledger, at least a portion of the first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts settlement prices, and determining a current electronic currency index price from the at least a portion of the first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts settlement prices. The computer method includes displaying the current electronic currency index price on an electronic display.

Abstract: A computer method for creating optionality of price basis in a commodity contract includes establishing a smart contract for a transfer of a commodity using a distributed ledger and graphical user interface (GUI). The smart contract includes a variable price with a provision for a future determination of a price basis. The computer method includes receiving agreement on the smart contract between a seller and a counterparty, receiving a deposit on a total price from the counterparty, transferring at least a portion of the deposit to the seller, and transferring a token representing the smart contract to the counterparty. The computer method includes, at a future date, receiving a selection of the price basis for the smart contract from one of the counterparty or the seller, and notifying the other of the seller or the counterparty of the selected price basis and a resultant settlement price.
