  • Patent number: 12646047
    Abstract: Mechanisms for efficiently transferring multiple unspent transaction output (UTXO) tokens in a blockchain network operating a UTXO-based token transaction model are disclosed herein. These methods allow for the use of less computer processing and network bandwidth resources in the transfer of blockchain items, particularly in blockchain schemes with lineage tracking mechanisms (e.g. as may allow for clawback of tokens). Some embodiments comprise generating a delegated account and transferring the UTXO tokens into the delegated account. The ownership of the delegated account can then be transferred to another use of the blockchain network in a single transaction, thereby avoiding the need to individually transfer the UTXO tokens and incur the memory and computational resource burden and costs associated with therewith.
