Patent number: 11682003Abstract: Systems and methods for storing and managing blockchain transactions may include receiving a transaction request on a distributed ledger transaction machine that is part of a distributed ledger network including distributed ledger transaction machines, each storing an identical copy of a blockchain. The method may include extracting percentage allocations for each transaction in the transaction request as well as a set of identifying information indicating a charitable owner for at least one of the transactions. The method may further include recording a first transaction in a block on the distributed ledger transaction machine, which can be freely exchanged and transferred on the distributed ledger network and is unmarked, and a second transaction on the block on the distributed ledger transaction machine, including restricting the second transaction via a marking in the second transaction's data where the marking enables a centralized machine to control access and use of the second transaction.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: AVROHOM MEIR GLUCKInventor: Avrohom Meir Gluck
