Abstract: An approach is disclosed for providing free storage to a client on a blockchain platform. A number of free storage markers targeted for the client is generated by a governing entity. After validating the client by the governing entity, the number of free storage markers are transferred to the client where the free storage markers include a timestamp, a number of tokens, a client identification, an expiration, and a governing entity signature. An allocation from the number of free storage markers received from the client is processed by the governing entity for storage access.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed for streaming content to a client. A request is received to receive content suitable for access by a streaming application. The content is separated into chunks C (C1, C2, . . . , Cn). The chunks are uploaded to corresponding blobbers B (B1, B2, . . . , Bn). A first pipe is utilized by the blobbers B (B1, B2, . . . , Bn) to download the chunks C (C1, C2, . . . , Cn) into a buffer. A second pipe is utilized to convert the downloaded chunks C (C1, C2, . . . , Cn) from the buffer into a byte array A (A1, A2, . . . , An) and the byte array A (A1, A2, . . . , An) is sent to a plurality of streaming services.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed for running a first smart contract on a first blockchain platform which restricts access to a client's funds appropriated to a second smart contract running on a second blockchain platform. A transaction is received by invoking the first smart contract authorizing the second smart contract. In response to receiving an indication of a successful completion of the first smart contract, a plurality of client's authorization tickets are sent to the second smart contract which restricts access to the client's funds appropriated to the second smart contract running on the second blockchain platform. The invoked smart contract receives the set of authorization information and records the set of authorization information. After receiving a set of authenticated authorization tickets exceeding a predetermined threshold, the funds are atomically eliminated on the first blockchain platform and a converted funds generated on the second blockchain platform.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed to replace or by-pass a first blobber utilizing a blockchain infrastructure. The first blobber is identified. For replacement, a second blobber is identified and a replacement transaction is written. Write markers with respect to content for the second blobber are generated. The content is transferred to the second blobber. After detecting a successful completion of all the writes to the second blobber, a transaction to drop the first blobber is written. When the first blobber is by-passed content written to the first blobber capable of being reconstructed from other blocks is written to other blobbers. Read markers are sent for the other blocks to the other blobbers. The blockchain monitors for successful completion of all reads of the other blocks. After detecting the successful completion of all the reads of the other blocks from the other blobbers, the content is reconstructed from the other blocks.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed that executes a request by a content consumer to purchase a content from a content provider utilizing a smart contract. A transaction is received on the blockchain platform which invokes the smart contract specifying the request to purchase the content. The transaction is processed by the blockchain platform utilizing a reference to the content, a payment provided to the content provider and to an escrow payment pool. After receiving an authorization by a consensus set of authorizers, transferring at least a portion of the payment from the escrow payment pool to the content provider.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a storage platform for managing privacy compliance in an organization. The storage platform comprises a plurality of storage servers and at least one storage controller. The at least one storage controller receives user data from a user associated with the organization and splits the user data into a plurality of data chunks. Further, each data chunk of the plurality of data chunks are stored on a separate storage server selected from the plurality of storage servers. Also, each of the plurality of data chunks are encrypted using encryption keys stored on a distributed ledger. Thereafter, an authentication token corresponding to the stored user data is generated and provided to the user to enable the user to securely share the stored user data with the organization.

Abstract: The systems and methods of a blockchain platform for distributed applications includes flexibility to implement a variety of client systems with a token usage and distributed computing based on separation of roles for a miner and a blobber. The message flow model between different parties including a client, a blobber and a miner allows for fast transactions on a lightweight blockchain by lightening the load on a mining network, i.e. a network of one or more miners. Offloading the work to a different group of machines allows for greater specialization in the design and specifications of the machines, allowing for the blockchain platform miners to be optimized for fast transaction handling and blockchain platform blobbers to be efficient at handling data for given transaction types.
