Abstract

Claims (30)

1. A method comprising:

receiving via a communication interface of a computing services environment a deployment request to deploy a smart contract owned by a relational database account for a relational database within the computing services environment, the deployment request being received from a client machine authenticated to the relational database account;

deploying a smart contract from the computing services environment to the blockchain, the smart contract including a minting function including an authorization portion, the authorization portion permitting token minting only when a request is received from a requestor associated with a respective blockchain account assigned to a role for which token minting is authorized, the smart contract being owned by a designated blockchain account linked to the relational database system account, the designated blockchain account being different from the respective blockchain account;

transmitting from the communication interface at the relational database system a second instruction to record on the blockchain an association between a public key for an intermediary wallet, a unique identifier for the smart contract, and an intermediary minting role;

creating a designated wallet on the blockchain from the computing services environment in response to a token minting request;

identifying via a processor at the relational database system a transaction in which a designated token was minted to the designated wallet in response to the token minting request received in association with the intermediary wallet, the transaction being authorized based on an application of the public key to information included in the token minting request; and

updating the relational database system to include a wallet record identifying the designated wallet, a crypto product relational database record representing the designated token, and a transaction record reflecting the identified transaction.

2. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein the designated wallet and the intermediary wallet are identical.

3. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein the relational database system is updated to include a first record associated with minting of the token to the intermediary wallet.

4. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein the smart contract is associated with a plurality of roles including the intermediary minting role, and wherein the smart contract is associated with a plurality of functions including the minting function and a role updating function, and wherein executing the role updating function includes determining whether a request to update one or more roles is received from an account associated with a designated role authorized to update the one or more roles.

5. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein the relational database system is updated to include a record identifying a number of minted tokens associated with a designated token type, the designated token being associated with the designated token type, the number being increased in response to minting the designated token.

6. A computing services environment including a relational database system, the computing services environment comprising:

a communication interface configured to:

receive a deployment request to deploy a smart contract owned by a relational database account for a relational database within the computing services environment, the deployment request being received from a client machine authenticated to the relational database account;

deploy a smart contract from the computing services environment to the blockchain, the smart contract including minting function including an authorization portion, the authorization portion permitting token minting only when a request is received from a requestor associated with a respective blockchain account assigned to a role for which token minting is authorized, the smart contract being owned by a designated blockchain account linked to the relational database system account, the designated blockchain account being different from the respective blockchain account,

transmit a second instruction to record on the blockchain an association between a public key for an intermediary wallet, a unique identifier for the smart contract, and an intermediary minting role; and

create a designated wallet on the blockchain from the computing services environment in response to a token minting request; and

a processor configured to identify a transaction in which a designated token was minted to the designated wallet in response to the token minting request received in association with the intermediary wallet, the transaction being authorized based on an application of the public key to information included in the token minting request; and

a storage system configured to store a wallet record identifying the designated wallet, a crypto product relational database record representing the designated token, and a transaction record to reflect the identified transaction.

7. The database system recited in claim 6 , wherein the designated wallet and the intermediary wallet are identical.

8. The database system recited in claim 6 , wherein the one or more records include a first record associated with minting of the token to the intermediary wallet.

9. The database system recited in claim 6 , wherein the smart contract is associated with a plurality of roles including the intermediary minting role, and wherein the smart contract is associated with a plurality of functions including the minting function and a role updating function, and wherein executing the role updating function includes determining whether a request to update one or more roles is received from an account associated with a designated role authorized to update the one or more roles.

10. The database system recited in claim 6 , wherein the relational database system is updated to include a record identifying a number of minted tokens associated with a designated token type, the designated token being associated with the designated token type, the number being increased in response to minting the designated token.

11. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon for performing a method, the method comprising:

receiving via a communication interface of a computing services environment a deployment request to deploy a smart contract owned by a relational database account for a relational database within the computing services environment, the deployment request being received from a client machine authenticated to the relational database account;

deploying a smart contract from the computing services environment to the blockchain, the smart contract including a minting function including an authorization portion, the authorization portion permitting token minting only when a request is received from a requestor associated with a respective blockchain account assigned to a role for which token minting is authorized, the smart contract being owned by a designated blockchain account linked to the relational database system account, the designated blockchain account being different from the respective blockchain account;

transmitting from the communication interface at the relational database system a second instruction to record on the blockchain an association between a public key for an intermediary wallet, a unique identifier for the smart contract, and an intermediary minting role;

creating a designated wallet on the blockchain from the computing services environment in response to a token minting request;

identifying via a processor at the relational database system a transaction in which a designated token was minted to the designated wallet in response to the token minting request received in association with the intermediary wallet, the transaction being authorized based on an application of the public key to information included in the token minting request; and

updating the relational database system to include a wallet record identifying the designated wallet, a crypto product relational database record representing the designated token, and a transaction record reflecting the identified transaction.
