Abstract

Described processes include: determining portions of instances of a cryptographic token to be allocated to record providers, like providers of an asset indicated by a record, wherein: the portions are determined based on network effects associated with the records the record provider supplied on performance of a computer-implemented network in which both record providers and record consumers participate, patterns indicative of inorganic consumption may be determined from one or more of interactions of individual consumers, interactions of collections of consumers, or consumer interactions in the aggregate for a given provider or record; and the effects on network performance are adjusted responsive to designation of one or more entities as exhibiting inauthentic behavior; and appending to a distributed ledger, records indicating the respective portions, and adjustments, are allocated to record providers.

Claims (36)

1. A tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that when executed effectuate operations comprising:

determining that a set of users have burned a first type of cryptographic tokens and, in response, providing the set of users a second type of cryptographic tokens;

receiving the second type of cryptographic tokens and, in response, causing the set of users to have access to computing assets;

determining that a disequilibrium exists between the first type of cryptographic tokens and the second type of cryptographic tokens; and

in response to the determination, minting additional instances of the first type of cryptographic tokens, wherein the operations further comprise:

allocating the additional instances of the first type of cryptographic token to providers of the computing assets.

2. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the computing assets are data.

3. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the computing assets are content.

4. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the first type of cryptographic tokens are digital bearer assets.

5. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second types of cryptographic tokens are Ethereum Request for Comment 20 (ERC-20) tokens.

6. The medium of claim 1 , wherein determining that a disequilibrium exists comprises determining that an exchange rate has crossed a threshold.

7. The medium of claim 1 , wherein burning the first type of cryptographic token comprises sending the first type of cryptographic token to a wallet address for which a private key is unavailable.

8. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the allocating is based on how much of the computing assets are provided.

9. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the allocating is based on a measure of network centrality of a graph of consumption of the computing assets.

10. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the allocating is based on a Shapley value based on a graph of consumption of the computing assets.

11. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise:

minting the additional instance of the first type of cryptographic tokens with steps for creating attribution tokens.

12. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise:

steps for monitoring consumer interactions for allocation attribution tokens.

13. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise:

steps for allocating attribution tokens.

14. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise:

steps for removing attribution tokens from circulation.

15. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise:

causing the set of users to have access to computing assets with steps for accessing assets or other content items.

16. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise:

steps for contributors to provide the computing assets.

17. The medium of claim 1 , wherein:

the first and second types of cryptographic tokens are tracked with an acyclic graph of cryptographic hash pointers.

18. The medium of claim 17 , wherein state of the acyclic graph of cryptographic hash pointers is determined with a consensus algorithm using proof of stake.

19. A method, comprising:

determining that a set of users have burned a first type of cryptographic tokens and, in response, providing the set of users a second type of cryptographic tokens;

receiving the second type of cryptographic tokens and, in response, causing the set of users to have access to computing assets;

determining that a disequilibrium exists between the first type of cryptographic tokens and the second type of cryptographic tokens; and

in response to the determination, minting additional instances of the first type of cryptographic tokens, wherein the operations further comprise:

allocating the additional instances of the first type of cryptographic token to providers of the computing assets.
