  • Patent number: 11966972
    Abstract: The disclosure describes embodiments of systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media that utilize a machine learning model and a credit value model to generate user interface elements that present credit values and credit value conditions in real time for user accounts. For instance, the disclosed systems can generate an activity score using an activity machine learning model with internal user activity data of a user account. Then, utilizing a credit value model with the activity score and a user activity condition, the disclosed systems can determine a dynamic credit value range for the user account. Indeed, the disclosed systems can display user interface elements with selectable credit values from the dynamic credit value range. Additionally, the disclosed systems can utilize the credit value model to determine and display one or more dynamic credit value conditions for a selected credit value received from the selectable credit values.

  • Patent number: 11922402
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that authorize blockchain network transactions based on a work requirement. A blockchain network has a plurality of nodes. At least one node of the plurality of nodes is configured to determine whether a token has satisfied a work requirement. The work requirement represents participation of performing work within the blockchain network. The at least one node is further configured to approve a transaction as a function of determining that the work requirement has been satisfied and, to disapprove the transaction as a function of determining that the work requirement has not been satisfied. By enabling the transaction to be approved based on a work requirement, the token, for example, can be authenticated as having an inherent functional value. In this way, the blockchain network or token exchange can attest to the token not being a security, which would be subject to federal securities and regulations.

  • Patent number: 11868990
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for facilitating sharing of tokens among different funding accounts linked to a digital wallet application to improve the computer resource efficiency of the mobile device. When a first funding account is linked to the digital wallet application is received, a token management system may determine whether a set of tokens have already been issued and stored on the mobile device for another related funding account. The token management system may cause a token service provider server to abort generating additional tokens for the first funding account. Instead, the token management system may modify characteristics of one or more of the set of tokens existed on the mobile device, to enable the one or more existing tokens to be usable in electronic payment transactions in association with the first funding account or the second funding account.
