Abstract

Systems and methods for facilitating token-based transactions performed in accordance with many embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method that receives a request to perform a transaction corresponding to a transfer of at least one token. The method selects, from a plurality of verifiers, a transaction verifier for the request. The method transmits a collection of data to the transaction verifier, wherein the collection of data: corresponds to at least one of the transaction or the request, and includes a recipient identifier and an authentication value for a requesting user. The method receives a validity evaluation for the transaction including: an assessment of whether the request is properly authenticated; and an assessment of whether the request complies with at least one security policy associated with the at least one token. The method evaluates the request based on the assessment(s).

Claims (78)

1 . A method for authenticating a token transaction, the method comprising:

receiving a request to perform a transaction from a device, wherein the transaction corresponds to a transfer of at least one token;

selecting, from a plurality of verifiers, a transaction verifier for the request;

transmitting a collection of data to the transaction verifier, wherein the collection of data:

corresponds to at least one of the transaction or the request; and

comprises a recipient identifier and an authentication value for a requesting user;

receiving, from the transaction verifier, a validity evaluation for the transaction, wherein the validity evaluation comprises:

a first preliminary assessment of whether the request is properly authenticated; and

a second preliminary assessment of whether the request complies with at least one security policy associated with the at least one token; and

evaluating the request, wherein evaluating the request:

is based, at least in part, on at least one of the first preliminary assessment or the second preliminary assessment, and

comprises:

when the request is evaluated as unsafe, rejecting the request; and

when the request is evaluated as safe, processing the request.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

rejecting the request comprises at least one of encrypting the request, removing authentication information from the request, requiring a second-factor authentication to proceed with the request, transmitting a request rejection to the device, or performing a direct verification of authorization to make the transaction; and

processing the request comprises at least one of transmitting the request to a blockchain node and transmitting a request acceptance to the device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a token of the at least one token is a non-fungible token (NFT).

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the authentication value comprises at least one of a digital signature, a message authentication code, a one-time code, a password, or a personal identification number; and

the first preliminary assessment comprises a verification of whether the authentication value for the requesting user corresponds to an owner of a first token of the at least one token.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

evaluating the request first comprises deriving a risk score for an initial sender of the transaction;

the risk score is derived based on at least one of: the identity of the requesting user, or potential maliciousness of the transaction;

the request is evaluated as unsafe when the risk score falls below a predetermined threshold; and

the request is evaluated as safe when the risk score meets or exceeds the predetermined threshold.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

each verifier in the plurality of verifiers is associated with a trust score; and

the trust score corresponds to an accuracy estimation of the verifier when authenticating requested transactions.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transaction verifier is an automated agent that executes in a secure environment.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the automated agent is a machine learning model trained on evaluations performed for other requests by other verifiers of the plurality of verifiers.

9 . The method of claim 1 , the collection of data further comprises at least one of: a valuation of the transaction, a time limit corresponding to the transaction, a nonce corresponding to the transaction, a metadata file corresponding to the transaction, or a request header corresponding to the transaction.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one security policy comprises a requirement for one or more of:

the recipient identifier not being on a recipient banlist;

the recipient identifier being on a recipient allowlist;

an internet protocol address of the device not being a requestor banlist;

the internet protocol address of the device not being a requestor banlist;

the valuation of the transaction falling under a predetermined transaction maximum; or

the request being received during a certain time of day.

11 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, are configured to cause a processor to perform a process for authenticating a token transaction, the process comprising:
