| Abstract: 2000 char max | The present invention concerns the verification and authentication of independent digital wallets and, particularly, the linking of regulated and unregulated digital wallets on a public blockchain. An unregulated trading system has a public certificate module arranged selectively to write NFTs into specific unregulated accounts. A public ledger database of the blockchain system stores unregulated accounts which each contain: (i) a document type identifier having a related minted unique non-transferable NFT linked to an externally generated certificate hash and where each non-transferable NFT is obtained via writing of a smart contract and each non-transferable NFT is a permanent record for a description of the document type; and (ii) a link to a private wallet of a regulated account of a regulated trading platform. The link relates directly to the minted non-transferable NFT issued from the certificate module. Each non-transferable NFT is configured to be changed or moved from the unregulated wallet only through an interaction that directly involves the certificate module. |

| 1st Invent: | Ryan Sealy (Layton, UT) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A blockchain-based election system includes an owner-controlled blockchain, an election administration server, registrars for authenticating voters and providing instructions for the election, and electronic devices for casting ballots. The administration server interfaces with the blockchain to manage election rules and content. The registrars authenticate each voter''s identity and issue ballots to each voter through the blockchain. The voters may cast their ballots using an election polling place device, a wallet app or another electronic device such as a computer. Once cast, the ballots are tabulated and the vote counts revealed using the blockchain. Public key encryption is used to secure each step in the election process. An anonymizer service obfuscates voter identity with timing delays and false communication messages to prevent an attacker from correlating information about the voter. As a result, any authorized person or entity may verify the election results by querying the blockchain. |

| 1st Invent: | Victor Almeida Barros (St Petersburg, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and techniques may generally be used for provisioning local storage data object containers. A public-facing interface may receive a satisfaction identifier for a data object axiom instrument and may acquire user consent acknowledging ephemeral disclosure of recovery credentials to initiate a satisfaction workflow. A service layer may validate the identifier against a satisfaction ledger and may orchestrate the workflow by issuing a satisfy command to another service layer. The service layer, isolated from public ingress, may generate container key material defining a destination address and may construct and sign a transfer to the address. A network broadcast interface may submit the transfer to a blockchain network. An ephemeral disclosure module may present the recovery credentials in a disclosure viewport with a countdown timer. Upon expiry, the credentials may be zeroized and subsequent disclosure may be prevented, enforcing a policy of no server-side persistence. |

| 1st Invent: | Saravanan Balasubramanian (Chennai, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: No name resolution. |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and methods are disclosed to revolutionize blockchain consensus mechanisms by introducing a novel, inclusive framework that enhances efficiency, scalability, and environmental sustainability. Central to this breakthrough are a cluster-based scoring system and a multi-queue dynamic scheduling mechanism, designed to replace resource-intensive consensus models like Proof of Work and Proof of Stake. This approach allows nodes to participate based on merit, determined through an iterative scoring process within clusters, democratizing access, and participation across the blockchain network. The system dynamically adjusts mining complexity as the blockchain evolves, ensuring scalability and reducing energy consumption. A key innovation is the introduction of cooldown periods to prevent dominance by any single node, promoting fairness and security. This decentralized, efficient, and scalable solution paves the way for broader blockchain adoption, maintaining the technology''s foundational principles while addressing its traditional limitations. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A system and method are provided for transitioning a distributed ledger or blockchain to a post-quantum authorization through a soft fork that avoids interruption or delay of network operation including defining a first activation block height (h{b}1{/b}) to initiate the transition and a second activation block height (h{b}2{/b}) greater than the first activation block height to complete the transition. For each block during the transition, transactions are validated by applying a height-based rule set that enforces a classical digital signature scheme before the first activation block height, permits both classical and post-quantum digital signature schemes between the first and second activation heights while requiring post-quantum authorization for newly created ledger units and enforces only post-quantum authorization after the second activation height. At the second activation height, all ledger units authorized under the classical digital signature scheme become invalid, resulting in a distributed ledger operating exclusively under post-quantum authorization. |
