Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-chain and cross-chain self-executing programs face challenges with interoperability and latency issues when transferring non-fungible digital records, particularly those requiring multiple independent validations, leading to exponential latency in decentralized applications.
Innovation Solution
The use of self-validating, non-fungible digital records that incorporate pre-deployment validation characteristics, allowing them to self-validate and be transferred in real-time through a cross-network registry, bypassing the need for consensus determinations and atomicity across multiple chains.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multi-chain or cross-chain self-executing programs are used to transfer non-fungible digital records across multiple blockchain networks, then interoperability between different blockchain networks is improved, but latency increases exponentially due to the need for consensus determinations and atomicity across multiple chains
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the validation logic from multiple blockchain consensus mechanisms and consolidates it into a single validation performed by the cross-network registry. Instead of requiring consensus across multiple chains, the system takes out the essential validation function and performs it once off-chain, then records the result on a single blockchain, eliminating the exponential latency of multi-chain consensus while preserving interoperability.
Solution Approach 2:
The cross-network registry acts as an intermediary between multiple blockchain networks. It receives self-validating digital records from one chain, performs validation according to pre-deployment characteristics, and records the transfer on the target chain without requiring consensus mechanisms from both chains to coordinate. This intermediary approach resolves the latency issue by centralizing the validation function while maintaining cross-chain interoperability.
2Reliability
If conventional multi-chain self-executing programs are used with pre-deployment validation characteristics, then validation requirements can be enforced, but the validation process requires post-transfer confirmation which increases latency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by performing validation according to pre-deployment characteristics before the transfer is finalized on the blockchain. The cross-network registry validates the self-validating digital record off-chain using the pre-defined validation rules, and only after successful validation does it record the transfer on the blockchain. This eliminates the need for post-transfer confirmation while ensuring validation requirements are enforced, thereby reducing latency.
3Loss of time
If self-validating digital records with pre-deployment validation characteristics are used, then real-time transfer is enabled, but the validation requirements are hardcoded into the record's code making them inflexible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates validation requirements from the digital record's code by introducing a new dimension - the cross-network registry's off-chain validation layer. The self-validating digital record contains minimal validation characteristics, while the actual validation logic and requirements are stored and executed by the cross-network registry. This dimensional separation allows real-time validation (maintaining transfer speed) while enabling flexible updates to validation requirements through the registry without changing the record's code.
4Adaptability or versatility
If cross-chain self-executing programs are used to handle data exchange between different blockchains, then interoperability is achieved, but atomicity across multiple chains becomes difficult to ensure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the atomicity assurance function from multi-chain consensus mechanisms and implements it in the cross-network registry's off-chain validation process. The registry validates the entire transfer transaction against pre-deployment characteristics before recording it, ensuring atomicity without requiring coordination between multiple blockchain consensus mechanisms. This maintains data exchange capability while reliably ensuring atomicity.

AI summary
Systems and methods for novel uses and/or improvements to blockchains and blockchain technology. As one example, systems and methods are described herein for self-validating digital records that may be transferred in real-time through a cross-network registry. For example, in a conventional system, minting a token (e.g., a digital record) involves writing a self-executing program that defines the transfer rules of the digital record. Once the self-executing program is written, it is deployed on a blockchain, and the digital record is minted by publishing it to a blockchain.
