Patent number: 12659157Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for tokenized asset markets and blockchain embedded emission offsets. A computing device can identify a transaction and then identify a block in a blockchain, the block including a record of the transaction. The computing device can then identify a miner that created the block and calculate a carbon footprint for the transaction based at least in part on the identity of the miner. If the carbon footprint is less than a predefined threshold, a token can be issued that represents the carbon footprint associated with the transaction. The token representing the carbon footprint can then be transferred to a marketplace service for use in a tokenized asset market.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2022Date of Patent: June 16, 2026Assignee: Gemini IP, LLCInventor: Jamie Chapman
