Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for generating smart contracts for blockchain platforms are time-consuming, require significant technical expertise, and are prone to human error, making them complex, costly, and difficult to deploy across multiple platforms.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for automatically generating smart contracts using a Domain Specific Language (DSL) input, which converts natural language user stories into platform-agnostic code templates, eliminating the need for platform-specific coding and reducing the complexity and cost of development.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual code writing is used for each blockchain platform, then platform-specific functionality is achieved, but development time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses template-based code generation where pre-defined smart contract templates are copied and adapted for different blockchain platforms. Instead of writing code from scratch for each platform, the system copies templates and automatically substitutes platform-specific parameters, dramatically reducing development time while maintaining platform-specific functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal code generation system that can generate smart contracts for multiple blockchain platforms (Ethereum, Hyperledger, Corda, etc.) using a single template repository. The system performs multi-functionality by adapting the same template framework to different platforms through parameter substitution, eliminating the need for separate manual coding processes for each platform.

3Extent of automation
If existing mark-up language tools are used, then code generation is enabled, but technical expertise is still required and platform-specific mark-up must be written for each platform
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses template-based code generation where pre-defined smart contract templates are copied and adapted for different blockchain platforms. Instead of writing code from scratch for each platform, the system copies templates and automatically substitutes platform-specific parameters, dramatically reducing development time while maintaining platform-specific functionality.

4Adaptability or versatility
If manual code writing and testing is performed for each platform, then platform-specific deployment is achieved, but development cost and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-defining smart contract templates with platform-agnostic logic before deployment. The templates are prepared in advance with all necessary structure and functionality, so that during deployment only platform-specific parameter substitution is needed. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual coding and testing for each platform, as the templates are already validated and ready for deployment.

AI summary
The present invention provides for a system (100) and a method for generating smart contracts for blockchain platforms. An input received as natural language text is processed into a first parameter to generate a Domain Specific Language (DSL) construct. DSL construct is disintegrated into a stream of tokens and a syntax analysis is performed on the stream of tokens to check if the syntax of the DSL construct matches with a grammar file defined for the DSL construct. Each of the marked lines of the stream of tokens is read and the read marked lines are transformed into an organized structure. A file specific to a target blockchain platform is generated based on a second parameter and the organized structure is mapped with the generated file associated with the target blockchain platform to generate a target code template for generating a deployable target smart contract for the target blockchain platform.
