  • Patent number: 12548012
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing events transmitted by an application to hashing processors executing a custom mempool protocol that is independent of the public blockchain protocol. Events transmitted by the application are hashed only into blocks with other events transmitted by the application or events with parameters satisfying a screening criterion and are not propagated to mempools of nodes that are not executing the custom mempool protocol. The blocks are appended to the blockchain according to the public blockchain protocol. Thus, application users exercise intentionality over which hashing processors process their events and which other events will be hashed into a block with the users' events.

  • Publication number: 20250217890
    Abstract: A method for detecting and tracking tainted cryptographic wallets. The method measures a wallet's propensity to engage in criminal or suspicious activity. Naturally, transacting with a criminal is tantamount either to funding crime or laundering its proceeds, so it is in our collective interest to identify—and then monitor or quarantine—any wallet with criminal association. The method also automatically flags risky withdrawal requests in real-time for further review before committing them to the blockchain. In some embodiments, the exchange can quarantine wallets at a certain AddressScore.

  • Publication number: 20240348460
    Abstract: Systems and methods for hashing ordinals under a modified blockchain protocol for blockchain events following ordinal theory. Ordinal identifiers are assigned to unspent inputs for a blockchain event. Content associated with multiple ordinals are embedded into data fields of the unspent inputs, which are then transferred to blockchain event outputs. The blockchain event outputs, including the embedded content associated with the multiple ordinals, are hashed into a block, which is broadcasted for appending to a blockchain data structure according to the modified blockchain protocol.

  • Publication number: 20240265389
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing events transmitted by an application to hashing processors executing a custom paired event generation protocol that is independent of the vanilla blockchain protocols. Events are transmitted including additional scripts that cause nodes including the custom protocol to generate a paired event. the paired event enables creators of the initial event to have some agency in whom benefits from mining the initial event to blocks on the blockchain. The blocks are appended to the blockchain according to the vanilla blockchain protocol. Thus, users exercise intentionality over which hashing processors process their events and which other events will be hashed into a block with the users' events.

  • Publication number: 20240152903
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing events transmitted by an application to hashing processors executing a custom mempool protocol that is independent of the public blockchain protocol. Events transmitted by the application are hashed only into blocks with other events transmitted by the application or events with parameters satisfying a screening criterion and are not propagated to mempools of nodes that are not executing the custom mempool protocol. The blocks are appended to the blockchain according to the public blockchain protocol. Thus, application users exercise intentionality over which hashing processors process their events and which other events will be hashed into a block with the users' events.

  • Patent number: 10594317
    Abstract: A switching regulator sources a power rail and includes a top side or input rail side switch, a bottom side or ground side switch, and an inductor. When the switching regulator is disabled or generally turned off, a bottom side transistor in the bottom side switch is pulsed on and off, or held on, to drain or bleed the power rail to ground. When the bottom side transistor is off and if there is a voltage across the inductor from the power rail at a switching node, current flows through a body diode of the top side switch to the input rail of the switching regulator.
