| 1st Invent: | Josh Williams (Sacramento, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and methods exchange a nonfungible token (NFT) via blockchain cross-chain fungible token transfers using first and second blockchains. The first blockchain holds the NFT in a first escrow digital wallet. The NFT is available for trade by a seller and is associated with a trade value. The first blockchain monitors a balance of fungible tokens, owned by a buyer, that are transferred from a second blockchain to a second escrow digital wallet of the first blockchain. In response to detecting that the balance monitored represents the trade value, the first blockchain transfers, simultaneously, (i) the NFT from the first escrow digital wallet to a first digital wallet of the first blockchain, the first digital wallet owned by the buyer, and (ii) the balance of fungible tokens from the second escrow digital wallet to a second digital wallet of the second blockchain, the second digital wallet owned by the seller. |

| 1st Invent: | Christopher Andon (Portland, OR) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Presented are computing systems for regulating the custody and transfer of digital assets, methods for making/using such systems, and memory-stored, computer-readable instructions for provisioning such systems. A method for governing control of digital assets includes a host platform''s server receiving, from a user''s personal computing device, a request to transfer a cryptographic digital asset from a custodial wallet provisioned by a third-party wallet platform. In response, the host server receives, from the third-party wallet platform''s server, an encrypted private key enabling access to the custodial wallet. The private key is decrypted and used to create an encrypted transfer request by generating a transfer request to transfer the cryptographic digital asset from the custodial wallet to a new digital wallet and encrypting the transfer request. The host server transmits, to the third-party server using the encrypted transfer request, a transfer order to transfer the cryptographic digital to the new digital wallet. |

| 1st Invent: | Gang Cheng (Nashua, NH) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=5 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | The Unified Multi-sig Blockchain Transaction Signing Platform Apparatuses, Processes and Systems (''SFTSP'') transforms contract deployment request, transaction signing request, key backup request, key recovery request datastructure/inputs via SFTSP components into contract deployment response, transaction signing response, key backup response, key recovery response outputs. An offline transaction signing request message datastructure for a transaction is received by a cold hardware security module from an offline transaction signing server. A blockchain type is determined. Upon determining that the blockchain type identifies a single-signature blockchain, a determination is made whether final transaction signing is specified. Upon determining that final transaction signing is specified, a set of previous off-chain transaction signatures is validated. Upon determining that the blockchain type identifies a multi-signature blockchain, or that the blockchain type identifies a single-signature blockchain and final transaction signing is not specified, the previous online transaction signature is validated. Transaction hash is signed and the signature returned. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | When a consumer checkouts out, the transaction interface presents a buy now pay later option selected by the consumer for payment of a transaction. Consumer information is collected through the interface and a registered financial institution (FI) is presented the transaction details and information for servicing a loan. Terms are provided from the FI and presented to the consumer through the interface. Acceptance by the consumer causes a smart contract with the terms and parties of the loan to be generated in a blockchain (BC) and payment processed by the BC by transferring funds from a FI wallet to a retailer wallet associated with the transaction. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A system described herein may maintain a local copy of a particular blockchain that is associated with a plurality of nodes of a blockchain network. Each node of the plurality of nodes may maintain a respective local copy of the particular blockchain. The system may maintain world state information associated with the particular blockchain; receive a request from a device to join the blockchain network; and provide, to the device and based on the received request, at least a subset of the world state information associated with the particular blockchain. The device may perform blockchain operations, such as executing chaincode, based on the at least the subset of the world state information. The system may provide, to the device and after providing the at least the subset of the world state information, the local copy of the particular blockchain, such as by performing a prioritized synchronization operation. |
