  • Optimal transactions sharding for scalable blockchain
    Patent number: 11531982
    Abstract: An exemplary transaction sharding method comprises splitting a distributed ledger into a plurality of shards; and storing a shard across the subgroup of computer nodes associated with the shard. Such a method further comprises assigning a new transaction to one of the plurality of shards, wherein assigning the new transaction comprises iteratively choosing one of the plurality of shards; in each iteration, determining a transaction-to-shard score measuring a probability that a subgroup of computing nodes associated with the chosen shard for the current iteration would be involved in a same-shard transaction for the new transaction; in each iteration, determining a latency-to-shard score by estimating a confirmation latency of the new transaction under the chosen shard for the current iteration; and selecting the new transaction to be assigned to the shard based on a combination of the transaction-to-shard score and the latency-to-shard score.

  • Importance sketching of influence dynamics in massive-scale networks
    Patent number: 11341585
    Abstract: A hyper-graph sketching framework receives graph data set to generate non-singular reverse cascades in a network to assess influence dynamics therein. A high-quality influence oracle for seed sets uses the resulting sketch data set generated from the non-singular reverse cascades to output estimation of influence.
