  • Publication number: 20240137280
    Abstract: Methods and systems for introducing self-contained intent functionality into decentralized computer networks is described. Specifically, the methods and systems for encoding user intent (e.g., what functions a value may be used for) into data structures for computer programs and/or transaction protocols intended to automatically execute, control, or record events and actions according to predetermined terms or criteria are described herein. For example, the methods and systems may include using a permission structure native to one or more cryptocurrencies to provide additional functionality that allows for an intent to be introduced into the computer program and/or transaction protocol. This intent may be introduced using a routing data structure indicating exchange eligibility of resource sources.

  • Patent number: 10972349
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a message and a digital signature related to the message may be obtained, where the message may include a source identifier of a data source and values associated with parameters for an executable. The message may be transformed into a network-specific data structure having a specific format associated with a network. A verification of the network-specific data structure may be performed based on the digital signature. The values may be provided to the executable based on the verification indicating a match between the network-specific data structure and the digital signature.

  • Patent number: 10581591
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, probabilistic secondary token issuance on a blockchain may be facilitated based on a burning of a primary token of the blockchain. In some embodiments, a blockchain transaction associated with a user may be obtained. The blockchain transaction may indicate (i) an amount of a primary token of the blockchain (owned by the user) to be burned and (ii) a secondary token of the blockchain. Based on the blockchain transaction, (i) the amount of the primary token may be burned, and (ii) a portion of a key space may be allocated to the user. Based on a determination that a hash of at least a portion of a first block of the blockchain corresponds to the key space portion allocated to the user, an issuance of an amount of the secondary token to the user may be stored on a second block for the blockchain.
