  • Patent number: 11797982
    Abstract: Disclosed techniques enable digital ledger authentication using address encoding. A digital ledger is accessed. A wallet address is determined for a user, where the wallet address is associated with a cryptocurrency in the digital ledger. The wallet address is hashed and signed, where the signing is performed using a private key from a digital purveyor. A digitally mapped value is encoded based on the wallet address. A transaction is authenticated based on reverifying the digitally mapped value with a re-encoding or re-signing the wallet address. The reverified digitally mapped value is used to enable a smart contract. An entry is appended to the digital ledger, where the entry includes the digitally mapped value. A transaction is rejected due to the re-encoding of the wallet address not having a correct private key signature, based on non-authentication.

  • Patent number: 11461771
    Abstract: Disclosed techniques enable hybrid digital ledger control with address encoding. A digital ledger is accessed using a centralized computing platform. The digital ledger comprises a decentralized blockchain. A wallet address for a user is determined, where the wallet address is associated with a digital token in the digital ledger. A digitally mapped value is encoded based on the wallet address. The digitally mapped value includes the wallet address, a transaction amount, and a type of digital currency. Access to the digital token is enabled, where the access is enabled using the encoding, the centralized computing platform, and the digital ledger. A smart contract is updated using the centralized computing platform, where the updating reflects the access enabled to the digital token.

  • Patent number: 10572872
    Abstract: Disclosed techniques enable arbitration of electronic competitions using digital ledgering. A digital competition arbitration platform is based on secure, trusted digital ledgering techniques. Users who seek to compete in digital games and eSports subscribe to the arbitration platform. A competition between users employs a digital contract. The contract is executed using a digital ledger token. The outcome of the competition between players is verified based on input from both the competitors and randomly selected witnesses. When a dispute occurs between the players, a juror pool reviews evidence and witness results. Payouts are made based on the digital contract and the adjudged competition result. Compensation is provided to jurors and witnesses.
