| Abstract: 2000 char max | A process may cause a gated autonomous program protocol to be stored on a blockchain. The gated autonomous program protocol is configured to exchange a blockchain unit with a gated wrapped blockchain unit that is exchangeable among blockchain addresses that satisfy one or more gating requirements. The process may verify that an account associated with a particular blockchain address of the blockchain satisfies the one or more gating requirements. The process may cause an issuance of an on-chain verification proof to the particular blockchain address. The on-chain verification proof may be stored on the blockchain as an on-chain representation that the particular blockchain address is verified with the one or more gating requirements. The gated autonomous program protocol verifies the on-chain verification proof before approving a transaction request associated with the gated wrapped blockchain unit that is initiated by the particular blockchain address. |

| 1st Invent: | Shannon Bruce Vosseller (Zrich, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Techniques are described, as implemented by computing devices, to control access to transactions through use of security deposits based on tokenized reputation scores. This is performed by leveraging a blockchain such that tokenized reputation scores are generated based on amounts of cryptographic reputation tokens associated with blockchain account addresses associated with service provider accounts. Access to transactional functionality is controlled for a service provider account by using an amount of cryptographic reputation tokens as a security deposit, where the security deposit is calculated based on a tokenized reputation score of the service provider account. Further, return of a security deposit is controlled for a service provider account based on a determination of a successful or unsuccessful completion of a transaction. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Described herein are systems and methods for transaction identification (ID) generation in transaction-based environments. The systems and methods provided generated transaction IDs which inherently define a range of values (a range of blockchain heights) within which the transaction is valid. This obviates problems associated with traditional transaction ID databases where a transaction ID only comprises a hashed value. That is, the presently disclosed systems and methods are an improvement over traditional hashing schemes as in traditional hashing schemes, a server must traverse an entire transaction ID database to determine if an incoming transaction is valid. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Blockchains operate as decentralized, self-regulating systems that involve contributions from hundreds of thousands of participants who work on the verification and authentication of transactions occurring on the blockchain. The consensus mechanism within such a system provides the set of rules that determine the legitimacy of contributions made by the various participants of the blockchain. The consensus mechanism should not only be tolerant of faults but also have low latency in establishing consensus. Prior art solutions either could tolerate at most (n+1)/5 faults reaching consensus or execution of three or more communication steps to provide tolerance of arbitrary (Byzantine) faults or cannot guarantee strong safety property for an honest primary. To improve the speed of the consensus mechanism the inventors have established a BFT consensus protocol that operates with just two communication steps. The proposed protocol tolerates at most (n1)/3 faults and provides strong safety guarantees for an honest primary. |
