  • Patent number: 11836723
    Abstract: The present methods and systems relate to using and accessing data stored in a blockchain, and in particular, interacting with the blockchain and users via smart contracts to handle account funding and distribution methods. The methods and systems include receiving a transaction from a participant, and verifying the transaction, such as by accessing a smart contract stored on the blockchain and checking a set of parameters against a set of conditions stored in the smart contract. Depending on whether the set of parameters satisfy the conditions, the results may be communicated to participants about the success or failure of the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20220138741
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for interacting with a blockchain and users of the blockchain to perform banking identity authentication services. For example, a method may include receiving a bank transaction from a participant; verifying the bank transaction; generating and communicating a confirmation that the bank transaction is valid to the participant; adding the bank transaction to a block of bank transactions; generating a cryptographic hash for the block of bank transactions; solving a cryptographic puzzle involving the hash of the block of bank transactions; adding the block to the blockchain; and/or transmitting the solution to the cryptographic puzzle, and the block of bank transactions to another participant. Otherwise, if the identity data is not valid, generating and communicating the confirmation that the bank transaction is not valid to the participant.

  • Publication number: 20210264000
    Abstract: The present methods and systems relate to using and accessing associate information for a company stored in a blockchain. The methods and systems include (1) receiving at least one associate request, the associate request having an associate request type, from at least one participant of the plurality of participants for information on an associate stored on the blockchain; (2) verifying the associate request based upon the associate request type; (3) verifying that, or otherwise determining whether or not, the associate information is stored on the blockchain; (4) when the associate information is stored on the blockchain, generating a transaction corresponding to the associate request type, or alternatively, when the associate information is not stored on the blockchain, generating a transaction involving the at least one associate request; and (5) transmitting the transaction to the plurality of participants, such as to facilitate maintaining a blockchain up-to-date.

  • Publication number: 20210264426
    Abstract: The present methods and systems relate to using and accessing data stored in a blockchain, and in particular, interacting with the blockchain and users via smart contracts, and protocols to maintain security, and reliability. The methods and systems deal with using and accessing asset information on a blockchain network. For example, the methods and systems may receive a request from a user for asset data stored on the blockchain, analyze the request to determine a type of request, access the asset data stored on the blockchain based upon the type of request and a set of request parameters, perform an action involving the asset data based upon the request, and communicate to the user that the action was performed involving the asset data.

  • Publication number: 20210201315
    Abstract: The present methods and systems relate to using and accessing data stored in a blockchain, and in particular, interacting with the blockchain and users to provide bank card activation services using smart contracts. The methods and systems include (1) receiving a credit card application package associated with a credit card, wherein the credit card application package includes credit card information and a set of user information, (2) verifying the credit card information and the set of user information, (3) checking the credit card information and the set of user information against the smart contract stored on the blockchain, wherein the smart contract includes a set of conditions, and (4) activating the credit card when the credit card information and the set of user information satisfy the set of conditions stored in the smart contract.
