Solution Overview

Problem

Decentralized exchanges (DEX) face limitations such as restricted asset selection, complexity, liquidity issues, user unfriendliness, and security concerns, discouraging users from engaging in diverse and secure trading.

Innovation Solution

A decentralized transaction system employing autonomous agent-based trading with a decentralized order book model, utilizing smart contracts and a distributed ledger to facilitate secure, transparent, and efficient peer-to-peer transactions through agent-based and order book-based verification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If decentralized exchange is implemented to enable peer-to-peer trading without intermediaries, then trading autonomy and security are improved, but system complexity and difficulty of operation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrading securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an order book as an intermediary data structure that mediates between buyers and sellers. The order book stores and manages buy and sell orders, automatically matching them according to price and time priority. This intermediary mechanism simplifies the trading process by handling order matching logic centrally within the decentralized system, reducing the complexity individuals would otherwise need to manage for peer-to-peer matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the trading system into distinct functional components: order placement, order storage in the order book, order matching logic, and trade execution. Each component operates independently but connects through well-defined interfaces. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized and understood separately, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining decentralized trading security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If decentralized exchange limits asset selection to maintain system simplicity, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability and versatility deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser friendlinessVSAvoidasset selection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal order book data structure and matching engine that can handle multiple asset types including cryptocurrencies, commodities, and other tradable instruments. The system uses a standardized order representation that accommodates different asset classes, allowing the same core infrastructure to serve diverse trading needs. This multi-functionality enables the system to expand asset selection without proportionally increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If decentralized exchange allows direct peer-to-peer trading, then trading efficiency is improved, but liquidity issues arise that restrict large orders

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrading efficiencyVSAvoidliquidity stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The order book serves as a liquidity intermediary that aggregates buy and sell orders from multiple participants. By collecting and displaying the order book state, the system provides visibility into available liquidity at different price levels. This allows traders to execute large orders by breaking them into smaller chunks that can be filled against existing orders in the book, preventing significant market impact while maintaining trading efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the order book continuously updates and broadcasts price and volume information to all participants. This real-time feedback enables traders to adjust their strategies based on current market conditions, improving liquidity provision. Market makers can respond to order book changes by adjusting their quotes, ensuring continuous liquidity availability even for large orders.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
