Computer-implemented methods and systems for secure digital asset tokenization and transfer using distributed ledger technology

A method for creating and exchanging tokenized assets combines a dual ownership structure with a tiered exchange system. The method involves issuing membership non-fungible tokens to cooperative members, creating a tokenized asset through a legal entity and property ownership non-fungible token, and implementing a smart contract to generate property tokens representing fractional ownership. The exchange system for these property tokens implements sequential buying windows, providing initial exclusive access to non-token holders, followed by access to regional cooperative members, then global cooperative members, and finally institutional buyers. This approach may promote progressive decentralization of ownership while maintaining secure blockchain-based transfers within the cooperative framework. The method may enable fractional ownership of various assets, automated distribution of benefits, and a controlled secondary market structure that balances liquidity provision with ownership diversification.

Transparent, verifiable, mutually restraining electronic voting

An electronic voting system includes voter devices, used by voters to select and commit their respective choices from among different options in an election, and ballot collection servers. Each of the voter devices computes a secrecy-maintaining ballot that is publishable without revealing the choice made by the voter. The voter's choice is obscured in the public ballot by summing the voter's vote, a binary vector, with voter shares contributed from each of the ballot collection servers. Aggregating the ballots provides a tallied voting vector that unobscures the votes and permits their tallying without revealing the identity of any voter associated with any choice in the tallied voting vector. The unique location of any voter's choice in the tallied voting vector is secret to each voter as a sum of location shares generated jointly generated by the ballot collection servers using secure multi-party computation.

Polling based resource management among distributed clients

Described herein are examples of systems and methods for conducting polls among clients. The clients can submit votes in the poll, such as a vote to increase or decrease an allocation of resources to a particular organization. After a client submits a vote in the poll, the techniques described herein can confirm an amplification amount that the client has applied to the vote is less than an amplification available to the client for the poll. For example, the amplification can be a weighting factor that allows the client to indicate the importance of their vote. If the amplification applied by the client is less than the available amplification for the client, then the vote can be recorded. For example, the vote can be recorded in a data structure of a distributed data store for the poll.
