Abstract

Claims (76)

1 . A system for conducting cryptographically secure actions in public, non-permissioned blockchains using a layer one blockchain solution featuring bifurcated self-executing programs that are compiled together and comprise shared digital signature requirements, the system comprising:

a blockchain node for a cryptographically secure network, wherein the blockchain node comprises one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions recorded thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause operations comprising:

receiving a first request, at a bifurcated self-executing program, to perform a first blockchain action, wherein the first request has a first origination, and wherein the bifurcated self-executing program comprises a combination of a plurality of individual self-executing programs that cannot be altered once the bifurcated self-executing program is deployed;

in response to receiving the first request, processing the first request with a first self-executing program of the bifurcated self-executing program;

determining, based on the first self-executing program, whether the first origination corresponds to an origination requirement; and

in response to determining that the first origination corresponds to the origination requirement, processing the first request with a second self-executing program of the bifurcated self-executing program to perform the first blockchain action.

2 . A method for conducting cryptographically secure blockchain actions in public, non-permissioned blockchains using a layer one blockchain solution featuring bifurcated self-executing programs, the method comprising:

receiving a first request, at a bifurcated self-executing program, to perform a first blockchain action, wherein the first request has a first origination, and wherein the bifurcated self-executing program comprises a combination of a plurality of individual self-executing programs that cannot be altered once the bifurcated self-executing program is deployed;

in response to receiving the first request, processing the first request with a first self-executing program of the bifurcated self-executing program;

determining, based on the first self-executing program, whether the first origination corresponds to an origination requirement; and

in response to determining that the first origination corresponds to the origination requirement, processing the first request with a second self-executing program of the bifurcated self-executing program to perform the first blockchain action.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein determining, based on the first self-executing program, whether the first origination corresponds to the origination requirement further comprising:

determining an entity that issued the first request; and

determining the first origination based on the entity.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein determining, based on the first self-executing program, whether the first origination corresponds to the origination requirement further comprising:

determining a vetted entity; and

determining the origination requirement based on the vetted entity.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein determining, based on the first self-executing program, whether the first origination corresponds to the origination requirement further comprising:

determining an address that issued the first request; and

determining the first origination based on the address.

6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein determining, based on the first self-executing program, whether the first origination corresponds to the origination requirement further comprising:

determining a unique identifier that issued the first request; and

determining the first origination based on the unique identifier.

7 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

determining a notification requirement for the first request, wherein the notification requirement notifies an entity of the first request; and

receiving a confirmation that the notification requirement has been satisfied.

8 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

determining a first processing characteristic corresponding to the first request; and

determining, based on the first self-executing program, whether the first processing characteristic corresponds to a predetermined processing characteristic.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein determining whether the first processing characteristic corresponds to the predetermined processing characteristic comprises:

determining, based on the first processing characteristic, a security certificate for the first request;

determining, based on the predetermined processing characteristic, a security certificate requirement for the bifurcated self-executing program; and

determining whether the security certificate corresponds to the security certificate requirement.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein determining whether the first processing characteristic corresponds to the predetermined processing characteristic comprises:

determining, based on the first processing characteristic, a request validator for the first request;

determining, based on the predetermined processing characteristic, a request validator requirement for the bifurcated self-executing program; and

determining whether the request validator corresponds to the request validator requirement.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein determining whether the first processing characteristic corresponds to the predetermined processing characteristic comprises:

determining, based on the first processing characteristic, a request validation procedure for the first request;

determining, based on the predetermined processing characteristic, a request validation procedure requirement for the bifurcated self-executing program; and

determining whether the request validation procedure corresponds to the request validation procedure requirement.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein determining whether the first processing characteristic corresponds to the predetermined processing characteristic comprises:

determining, based on the first processing characteristic, a request testing protocol procedure for the first request;

determining, based on the predetermined processing characteristic, a request testing protocol requirement for the bifurcated self-executing program; and

determining whether the request testing protocol procedure corresponds to the request testing protocol requirement.

13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein determining whether the first processing characteristic corresponds to the predetermined processing characteristic comprises:

determining, based on the first processing characteristic, a supported protocol for the first request;

determining, based on the predetermined processing characteristic, a protocol requirement for the bifurcated self-executing program; and

determining whether the supported protocol corresponds to the protocol requirement.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein determining whether the first processing characteristic corresponds to the predetermined processing characteristic comprises:

determining, based on the first processing characteristic, a digital asset type for the first request;

determining, based on the predetermined processing characteristic, a digital asset type requirement for the bifurcated self-executing program; and

determining whether the digital asset type corresponds to the digital asset type requirement.
