Abstract

Claims (38)

1 . A computer-based system for enforcing encoded conditions of digital assets, the computer-based system comprising:

a first blockchain network including multiple nodes and having a first digital wallet implemented thereon; and

a second blockchain network including multiple nodes and having a second digital wallet implemented thereon as an offline entity, the second blockchain network being separate and disparate from the first blockchain network,

at least one of the multiple nodes of the first blockchain network comprising a secure cryptoprocessor with a secure execution environment, the secure cryptoprocessor configured to execute a cross-chain enforcement control system, cause the secure cryptoprocessor to:

implement a decoder within the secure execution environment, the decoder configured to decode an encoded condition of a digital asset, the digital asset configured as a non-fungible token (NFT), the encoded condition associated with the first blockchain network;

configure the decoded condition with a threshold value of the digital asset, the threshold value configured to prevent fluctuations in value of the digital asset;

generate a zero-knowledge proof based on the encoded condition of the digital asset, the zero-knowledge proof object being verifiable by the second blockchain network without disclosure of the encoded condition;

transmit a cross-chain transaction message and the zero-knowledge proof to the second blockchain network;

at least one of the multiple nodes of the second blockchain network configured to:

receive the cross-chain transaction message and the zero-knowledge proof from the first blockchain network;

validate the cross-chain transaction message within the second blockchain network based on verification of the zero-knowledge proof, without disclosure of the encoded condition, wherein the cross-chain transaction is relayed within the second blockchain network only upon successful validation by the blockchain node in the second blockchain network and is rejected when validation fails;

responsive to successful verification of the zero-knowledge proof, validate an offline transfer of the digital asset from the first digital wallet on the first blockchain network to the second digital wallet of the offline entity on the second blockchain network;

configure the validated offline transfer to be as transparently viewable from within the second blockchain network; and

responsive to unsuccessful verification of the zero-knowledge proof, rejecting the cross-chain transaction within the second blockchain network and disapproving the transfer of the digital asset to the offline entity.

2 . The computer-based system of claim 1 , wherein the encoded condition triggers a royalty requirement that automatically causes recursive asset transfer back to a creator or prior owner of the digital asset upon transfer of the digital asset.

3 . The computer-based system of claim 1 , wherein the encoded condition triggers a fractionalized royalty model that specifies enforcement of a distributed royalty arrangement.

4 . The computer-based system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second blockchain networks are respectively configured to support first and second digital asset platforms.

5 . The computer-based system of claim 1 , wherein the offline entity is associated with the second blockchain network at a network location separate from a corresponding network location of the first blockchain network.

6 . The computer-based system of claim 1 , wherein the multiple nodes of the first blockchain network are configured to create a token representing the digital asset, and wherein the encoded condition is configured to influence a transaction value of the digital asset.

7 . The computer-based system of claim 1 , wherein the encoded condition is configured to implement a transaction value floor for the offline transfer of the digital asset.

8 . The computer-based system of claim 1 , wherein the encoded condition is configured to require a transaction value of the digital asset to remain within a bounded percentage of a transaction value change from a prior transaction.

9 . The computer-based system of claim 1 , wherein the first blockchain network is decentralized and the encoded condition comprises a smart contract.

10 . A computer-implemented method of enforcing encoded conditions of digital assets, the computer-implemented method comprising:

decoding, by a secure cryptoprocessor within a secure execution environment, an encoded condition of a digital asset configured as a non-fungible token (NFT), the encoded condition being encoded in the digital asset and associated with the first blockchain network;

generating, by the secure cryptoprocessor, a zero-knowledge proof based on the encoded condition of the digital asset without disclosure of the encoded condition;

transmitting, by the secure cryptoprocessor, a cross-chain transaction message and the zero-knowledge proof to a second blockchain network that is separate and disparate from the first blockchain network;

receiving, by a blockchain node in the second blockchain network, the cross-chain transaction message and the zero-knowledge proof from the first blockchain network;

validating, by the blockchain node in the second blockchain network, the cross-chain transaction message within the second blockchain network based on verification of the zero-knowledge proof without disclosure of the encoded condition, wherein the cross-chain transaction is relayed within the second blockchain network only upon successful validation by the blockchain node in the second blockchain network and is rejected when validation fails;

responsive to successful verification of the zero-knowledge proof, validating, by the blockchain node in the second blockchain network, a transfer of the digital asset to an offline entity associated with the second blockchain network; and

configuring the validated transfer of the digital asset to the offline entity as transparently viewable within the second blockchain network.

11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising configuring the encoded condition to specify a royalty to be paid to a creator or prior owner of the digital asset upon transfer of the digital asset.

12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising the encoded condition to implement a fractionalized royalty model that specifies enforcement of a distributed royalty arrangement.

13 . The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the first blockchain network and the second blockchain network are respectively configured to support first and second digital asset platforms.

14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the offline entity is associated with the second blockchain network at a network location separate from a corresponding network location of the first blockchain network.

15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:

creating a token representing the digital asset; and

establishing a threshold value pertaining to a transaction value of the digital asset, wherein the encoded condition is configured to analyze the threshold value.

16 . The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , further comprising at least one of: (i) implementing, via the threshold value, a transaction value floor for the transfer of the digital asset; and (ii) implementing a condition whereby the transaction value of the digital asset remains within a bounded percentage of a transaction value change from a prior transaction, wherein the threshold value is based on the bounded percentage.
