Private Cryptocoinage in Blockchain Environments
Cryptocoinage is established in a blockchain environment. Any entity (whether public or private) may issue its own cryptocoinage for public recordation to a blockchain data layer. The blockchain data layer generates data records representing transaction records of the cryptocoinage. The blockchain data layer may also hash the transaction records to generate a cryptographic proof for public disclosure via a public blockchain. Moreover, the cryptographic proof may be anchored to another public blockchain representing a different cryptocoinage (such as BITCOIN®). The blockchain data layer may be searched for the data records representing the transaction records of the cryptocoinage.
