  • Publication number: 20240330080
    Abstract: A method for generating a bridge to facilitate cross-chain transactions is disclosed. The method includes monitoring transactions on a first and second blockchain and classifying the monitored transactions. For each transaction type of a plurality of transaction types, the method includes generating, with a generative artificial intelligence model, a smart contract defining a bridge to link the first blockchain with the second blockchain based on the classified transaction type and deploying the smart contract defining the bridge.

  • Publication number: 20240330935
    Abstract: A system for facilitating communication between layer 2 networks is disclosed. The system may include a first layer 2 network and a second layer 2 network. One or more of the first or second layer 2 network may include a communication platform that is configured to define a protocol for establishing communication between the first and second layer 2 network. Furthermore, based at least in part on the protocol, a bridge may be generated that communicatively couples the first and second layer 2 networks. In some embodiments, generating a bridge may include generating a smart contract to facilitate communication between the first and second layer 2 networks.

  • Publication number: 20240333741
    Abstract: A system for monitoring network activity data in a blockchain network is disclosed. The system may comprise a layer 1 blockchain, a layer 2 solution, and a monitoring system. The monitoring system may include a log collector, an artificial intelligence system, and a reporting system. The log collector may collect network activity data. The artificial intelligence system may analyze network activity data received from the log collector and determine a corrective action. The reporting system may display a report of network activity data. The monitoring system may be further configured to perform the corrective action.
