| 1st Invent: | Jens-rene Giesen (Duisburg, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=4 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A computer-implemented method for supporting smart contracts in a blockchain network is provided. The method includes translating a source code of a smart contract into an abstract syntax tree model and generating a code property graph based on the abstract syntax tree model. The method further includes performing an enrichment phase, a vulnerability detection phase, and a vulnerability patching phase. In the enrichment phase, the code property graph is enriched with information that is obtained from the abstract syntax tree model. In the vulnerability detection phase, the code property graph is analyzed for predetermined vulnerability patterns in order to detect predetermined vulnerabilities. In the vulnerability patching phase, one or more patches are applied in order to fix the predetermined vulnerabilities. In some examples, the method can perform improved decision-making by optimizing the process for efficiently hardening smart contracts such that vulnerabilities within the contract can be remedied and eliminated. |

| 1st Invent: | Mark Landgrebe (Marina Del Rey, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=4 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A custodial token platform may (e.g., via a data synchronizer or a server) route requests received from one or more client applications to one or more compute clusters that execute a set of blockchain nodes for supporting the blockchain network. The platform may assign cookies to the client applications such that subsequent requests from a same client application are routed to the correct compute cluster such as to avoid or limit data synchronization errors. The initial routing may be based on one or more routing factors. The custodial token platform may additionally support an external node validator which validates and caches data from multiple external blockchain data service providers, and the cached data may be used to service blockchain data requests. An inline data validation procedure may be performed if a request results in a cache miss. |
