Patent number: 12657592Abstract: A method and system for generating versions of assets comprising various levels of detail is provided. The method includes generating an institutional subnet with one or more blockchains. The method further includes enabling a set of administrative precompiles for the one or more blockchains, verifying whether a user of the institutional subnet is authorized to interact with the one or more blockchains. The method further includes generating a risk score associated with the user and modifying, based on the risk score, at least one administrative precompile in the set of administrative precompiles for the one or more blockchains based on risk score requirements of each of the blockchains.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2024Date of Patent: June 16, 2026Assignee: Ava Labs, Inc.Inventor: Aaron Buchwald

Patent number: 12657575Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for bridging native tokens. Various aspects may include initializing a first blockchain by allocating a plurality of native tokens. Aspects may also include transferring, using a bridge, one or more transactions from a second blockchain to the first blockchain using locked tokens on the second blockchain as collateral. Aspects may also include minting new native tokens at the first blockchain when a value of transactions sum to the plurality of native tokens and the plurality of native tokens are backed by the locked tokens. Aspects may also include reporting, to the second blockchain, the amount of tokens used for the transaction fees in the one or more transactions. Aspects may also include burning, at the second blockchain, tokens corresponding to the amount of tokens used for paying transaction fees.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2024Date of Patent: June 16, 2026Assignee: Ava Labs, Inc.Inventors: Michael Kaplan, Patrick Robert O'Grady, Stephen Buttolph, Aaron Buchwald, Bernard Wong, Cameron John Schultz, Geoffrey Stuart, Matthew Lam

Publication number: 20250335906Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for cross-chain communication in a blockchain platform. Various aspects may include accepting, at a first blockchain, a first transaction including a message and a message payload. Aspects may also include validating, at the first blockchain, the message by signing the message using signature keys of one or more validators in a first set of validators of the first blockchain. Aspects may also include generating an aggregate signature based on the signature keys of the one or more validators in a first set of validators. Aspects may also include submitting a second transaction on to a second blockchain, the second transaction including the message and the aggregate signature. Aspects may include validating, at the second blockchain, the second transaction based on a shared registry.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2025Publication date: October 30, 2025Inventors: Michael Edmond Kaplan, Stephen Buttolph, Daniel Laine, Alexander Dunn, Cameron John Schultz, Aaron Buchwald, Patrick Robert O'Grady, Bernard Wong

Publication number: 20250317311Abstract: A method determines a current preference value, the current preference value being one of two possible values. The method receives k preference values, each being one of the possible values. The method defines alpha1, alpha2, and beta2, with alpha1>than k/2 and alpha2?alpha1. Responsive to a determination that at least alpha1 of the k preference values are different than the current preference value, the method changes the current preference value. Responsive to a determination that fewer than alpha2 of the k preference values are equal to the current preference value, the method sets a counter to zero. Responsive to a third determination that at least alpha2 of the k preference values are equal to the current preference value, the method increases the counter by 1. Responsive to a determination that the counter is equal to beta2, the method provides the current preference value as a finalized output.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2025Publication date: October 9, 2025Inventors: Aaron Buchwald, Stephen John Buttolph, Andrew Lewis-Pye, Patrick Robert O’Grady, Kevin Sekniqi

Patent number: 11231741Abstract: The present invention is directed to electrical circuits. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide a clock generator that includes a source clock generates a source clock signal at a low frequency. A clock multiplier multiplies the source clock signal by a predetermined factor to generate a high frequency clock signal. The high frequency clock signal is corrected by a time adjustment module by applying a compensation signal. The compensation signal is determined by a jitter measurement module, which uses both the high frequency clock signal and a jitter reference signal to determine the compensation signal. There are other embodiments as well.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2018Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: MARVELL ASIA PTE, LTD.Inventor: Aaron Buchwald
