  • Patent number: 11170374
    Abstract: A method for implementing blockchain-based transactions comprises: determining a transaction amount to be remitted from a remitter's blockchain account into a receiver's blockchain account, wherein a balance of the remitter's blockchain account comprises multiple reserve balances, and commitments of the reserve balances are recorded in a blockchain; selecting one or more of the reserve balances from the remitter's blockchain account, wherein the sum of the selected one or more reserve balances is not smaller than the transaction amount; and submitting to the blockchain a transaction comprising an identification of each of the selected one or more reserve balances and a commitment of the transaction amount, for the selected one or more reserve balances to be removed from the remitter's blockchain account and the transaction amount to be added to the receiver's blockchain account.

  • Patent number: 11151559
    Abstract: One or more embodiments of the present specification provide blockchain-based remittance methods and apparatuses. One method comprising: receiving, from an account of a remitter, a transaction for a remittance to an account of a remittee, wherein the transaction comprises a remittance amount of the remittance and at least one reserved amount corresponding to the remittance amount allocated by the remitter from a reserve fund list to the transaction; performing verification of the transaction, wherein the verification comprises determining whether a total amount of the at least one reserved amount comprised in the transaction is greater than or equal to the remittance amount; and in response to determining that the verification is successful: deducting the remittance amount from the balance of the account of the remitter, and adding the remittance amount to a balance of the account of the remittee.

  • Publication number: 20210288817
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to anonymous transactions based on ring signatures. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a remittance transaction. The remittance transaction is generated by a client device of a remitter by assembling unspent assets in an account corresponding to the remitter and masked assets in an account corresponding to a masked participant. Key images are obtained from a linkable spontaneous anonymous group (LSAG) signature of the remittance transaction. Values of the key-images are based on a private key, a public key, and unspent assets of the remitter. The LSAG signature is verified. The LSAG signature is generated by the client device of the remitter based on the private key and the public key of the remitter, and a second public key of the masked participant. The remittance transaction is executed when a transaction execution condition is met.
