  • Publication number: 20240152911
    Abstract: A custodial token platform may implement wallet orchestration techniques. For example, the custodial token platform may process a corpus of transaction data associated with a custodial token platform. The data may indicate movements of a crypto token between outbound addresses of the custodial token platform and a cold address managed by the custodial token platform. The custodial token platform may simulate movements of the crypto token between the outbound addresses and the cold address using a plurality of balance configurations that define one or more balance thresholds for the outbound addresses and determine a balance configuration for the outbound address and the cold address based on the simulation. The custodial token platform may then broadcast one or more transactions that are configured to move the crypto token between the outbound addresses and the cold address based at least in part on the determined balance configuration.

  • Publication number: 20230275673
    Abstract: Disclosed are a signal demodulation method and apparatus, a computer storage medium and a device. The method comprises: acquiring a signal to be demodulated; performing direct current blocking and bias processing on the signal to obtain a processed signal; comparing the processed signal with a preset decision signal, and obtaining a demodulation signal according to a comparison result. Thus, direct current blocking processing on a modulation signal can avoid dynamic changes of DC components caused by average power changes of carrier signals, avoiding wrongly demodulating the modulation signal. Bias processing after the direct current blocking on the modulation signal can further realize an AC signal decision without introducing a negative pressure source. A real-time decision on the processed signal via the preset decision signal can dynamically adapt the average power of carrier signals, thereby ensuring to correctly demodulate the modulation signal and improving the accuracy of demodulation results.
