  • Publication number: 20250029093
    Abstract: Users of a multisignature wallet can customize keys to initiate various transactions. As a user specifies roles to customize keys, a smart contract is updated to associate the roles with the keys, where the customized keys are then associated with the user's multisignature wallet. The user may perform transactions by signing using the key or an address of the key, where a transaction can be processed upon verifying the key and its role. Additionally, a privacy service can facilitate blockchain transactions initiated using a key of a multisignature wallet. The privacy service receives a transaction signed by a key of the multisignature wallet and identifies a proxy wallet using the key. The privacy service validates and signs the transaction, which is then sent to a proxy wallet. The proxy wallet can cause a blockchain transaction to be executed.

  • Patent number: 12147417
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for using a client that is unsynchronized with a blockchain network to validate blockchain transactions for IoT devices, web apps, mobile apps, and other applications. The client retrieves a register of nodes (acting as information provider or validator) that are synchronized with the blockchain network, selects a node from the register, and transmits an information request to the selected node. The client receives a response to the request, the response including the requested information and validation indicia (e.g., proofs), and determines whether the response is valid based on the validation indicia. The client transmits, in response to determining that the response is valid, a confirmation to the IoT device, web app, mobile app or other applications.

  • Publication number: 20240289793
    Abstract: Systems and methods for validating transactions distributed ledger transactions. In some embodiments, a request may be received to validate a proposed transaction for layer 2 processing for a distributed ledger. In response, a cryptographic configuration involved in the proposed transaction may be identified, and the proposed transaction may be checked against one or more transaction rules of the cryptographic configuration. In response to successfully checking the proposed transaction against the one or more transaction rules of the cryptographic configuration, the proposed transaction may be signed as part of a joint signature process with a validation key associated with the cryptographic configuration.
