Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for locking a digital asset. In one implementation, the system may include a first computer node that reads a private data store associated with the first computer node and/or reads a distributed ledger to confirm a digital asset is unlocked and can be transferred from the first computer node. The first computer node cryptographically signs and sends a proposed digital lock to a second computer node. When activated, the digital lock prevents transfer of the digital asset from the first computer node to another computer node that is not the second computer node. The first computer node also reads a distributed ledger to confirm the distributed ledger contains the digital lock in an activated state. The first computer node transfers the digital asset from the first computer node to the second computer node.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for modeling and interpreting a modeled digital asset and its evolution with respect to the rights of a plurality of parties, the method comprising: executing an await function instance no more than once using one of at least one choice defined therein for disposition of the digital asset with respect to the rights of at least one of the plurality of parties, said await function instance incorporated upon the consent of the affected parties to fulfil a configured function instance associated with the at least one choice; executing an agree function instance that requires the consent of at least one of the plurality of parties to execute; and storing the results of the executed function instances in an append-only ledger.

Abstract: A method of scheduling and validating a multiple-participant process, the method including: submitting, by a submitting node associated with a participant in the multiple-participant process, a proposed transaction by sending a cryptographically-protected message to one or more recipient nodes, wherein the cryptographically-protected message includes at least an unencrypted submessage readable by an external node and a cryptographically-protected submessage to preserve privacy from at least the external node; determining, by the external node, an order of the proposed transaction relative to other transactions; by way of at least some of the recipient nodes, validating the cryptographically-protected message; receiving a confirmation of validity of the cryptographically-protected message from at least some of the recipient nodes; finalizing the proposed transaction, as a confirmed transaction, based on receiving one or more confirmations from at least some of the recipient nodes that satisfy a confirmation co

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems to settle a transaction involving a plurality of digital assets, comprising receiving a notification of a proposed transaction comprising a plurality of proposed component atomic transactions that atomically transfer at least a portion of the plurality of digital assets from one or more transferring nodes to one or more receiving nodes. The method further comprises at least in part determining or verifying that each transferring and receiving computer node is cryptographically authorized to receive and/or transfer at least some of the plurality of digital assets, and that each transferring and receiving computer node has a sufficient amount of the plurality of digital assets. The method further comprises sending an authorization notification to at least one execution node to transfer the plurality of digital assets from the transferring computer nodes to the receiving computer nodes to settle the proposed transaction.
