| Counsel: | Firm: Perkins Coie LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Sheldon Bennett (Surrey, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and methods for processing events transmitted by an application to hashing processors executing a custom mempool protocol that is independent of the public blockchain protocol. Events transmitted by the application are hashed only into blocks with other events transmitted by the application or events with parameters satisfying a screening criterion and are not propagated to mempools of nodes that are not executing the custom mempool protocol. The blocks are appended to the blockchain according to the public blockchain protocol. Thus, application users exercise intentionality over which hashing processors process their events and which other events will be hashed into a block with the users'' events. |

| 1st Invent: | David C. Carver (Lexington, MA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A high-performance distributed ledger and transaction computing network fabric over which large numbers of transactions (involving the transformation, conversion or transfer of information or value) are processed concurrently in a scalable, reliable, secure and efficient manner. In one embodiment, the computing network fabric or ''core'' is configured to support a distributed blockchain network that organizes data in a manner that allows communication, processing and storage of blocks of the chain to be performed concurrently, with little synchronization, at very high performance and low latency, even when the transactions themselves originate from distant sources. This data organization relies on segmenting a transaction space within autonomous but cooperating computing nodes that are configured as a processing mesh. Each computing node typically is functionally-equivalent to all other nodes in the core. The nodes operate on blocks independently from one another while still maintaining a consistent and logically-complete view of the blockchain as a whole. According to another feature, secure transaction processing is facilitated by storing cryptographic key materials in secure and trusted computing environments associated with the computing nodes to facilitate construction of trust chains for transaction requests and their associated responses. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Contributions to a work by contributors having respective levels in a defined hierarchy are recorded in one or more blockchain transactions. One or more lower-level contributors provide, to a higher-level contributor, one or more lower-level contributions respectively, and the higher-level contributor provides a higher-level contribution responsive to the one or more lower-level contributions. A higher-level contributor transaction comprises one or more inputs, which in turn comprise: one or more pointers to one or more spendable outputs of one or more lower-level contributor transactions and one or more transaction signatures. The transactions contain contributions commitments which, together with the one or more pointers, represent the relationship between the higher-level contributor and the lower-level contributors within the defined hierarchy. The one or more transaction signatures prove that relationship. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems, methods, and computer programming products leveraging the use of machine learning, cryptographic keys and blockchain technology for validating blockchain transactions. The disclosed systems, methods and products improve detection of malicious cyberattacks and fraud, while reducing occurrences of falsely invalidated transactions and improving overall blockchain security in both permissioned and permissionless blockchain networks. Classifiers are trained using machine learning and other classification techniques by building a transaction history to learn how to identify suspicious transactions on the blockchain. In permissionless and order-execute models of permissioned blockchains, cryptographic keys are publicly registered to guardians residing out of band, who may co-sign requests and override or resubmit transactions marked as suspicious by the classifiers. In an execute-order model of permissioned blockchains, one-time use keys may be registered with the certificate authority of the blockchain, and used to co-sign transactions that might appear suspicious, preventing false-positive identification of suspicious-looking transactions by the classifier. |
