Publication number: 20250061446Abstract: A system for enabling escrow-free, secure, and convenient atomic asset swaps between blockchains are provided. In detail, when any group of users reach an agreement on the content of cross-chain asset swap transactions, each participant creates an individual signature on the content of each transaction, employs a reversible signature aggregate function to produce an aggregate signature from all his/her individual signatures, and optionally generates a proof to prove the relationship between the aggregated signature and the transaction contents. Sequentially, all the participants exchange these aggregated signatures and optional proofs. Once a participant publishes one of his/her individual signature, the other parties can use both signatures—one from the sender and the other from the recipient—to construct a complete transaction. Once a transaction is broadcast, its corresponding transactions are constructed, and broadcast.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2023Publication date: February 20, 2025Applicant: JINAN UNIVERSITYInventors: Yongdong WU, Tong LI, Shishi HUANG, Jiao LU, Jian WENG, Ming LI, Zhiquan LIU

Publication number: 20250061458Abstract: A fault-tolerant asset transferring method is provided to prevent financial losses caused by human errors, specifically unintentional mistakes made by the payer. The system introduces a new definition for blockchain transaction parameters, allowing for multi-input transactions. Each payment transaction includes the payee's signature for confirmation and the payer's signature. In addition, a system is designed to handle multi-input asset transfer transactions which incorporate the payer's confirmation. Upon reaching an agreement on the transaction content, each participant generates an independent off-chain signature on the transaction's content. In the event that participants generate a signature on the erroneous content of a transaction, the transaction will be accepted in the blockchain with very low probability due to transaction validation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2023Publication date: February 20, 2025Applicant: JINAN UNIVERSITYInventors: Yongdong WU, Jiao LU, Shishi HUANG, Tong LI, Jian WENG, Zhiquan LIU, Ming LI
