Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If clients directly interact with blockchain networks using existing technologies, then security and reliability are improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary service layer that mediates between clients and the blockchain network. This service handles complex processing tasks including transaction validation, block verification, and data retrieval, allowing clients to interact with simplified interfaces while maintaining blockchain security through the intermediary's robust implementation of cryptographic verification and consensus protocols.
2Reliability
If clients implement complex processing and security measures, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The intermediary service performs security and validation functions automatically without requiring client implementation. The service self-manages cryptographic key pairs, transaction signing, block verification, and data integrity checks, enabling computationally unsophisticated devices to access blockchain services securely through automated self-service mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The intermediary acts as a security gateway that absorbs complex security requirements, allowing clients to operate with simplified authentication and encryption handling while the intermediary maintains rigorous security protocols including transaction validation, digital signature verification, and consensus protocol enforcement.
3Measurement precision
If complex processing is implemented at client devices, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The intermediary service集中izes data verification and validation processing, performing precise measurement of transaction validity, block integrity, and consensus compliance. Clients receive verified data with high measurement precision through the intermediary's sophisticated validation algorithms without implementing complex verification logic locally.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a computer implemented method of maintaining a status of a stream on a blockchain. The method includes, receiving a create stream message, the create stream message comprising an indication of at least one trigger condition. Then, based on a trigger condition being met, the method includes obtaining data indicative of a state of the stream, and generating an append transaction comprising the data indicative of the state of the stream.
