METHOD FOR POOLING IN A PROOF-OF-SPACE-BASED BLOCKCHAIN VIA SINGLETONS
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250104069 titled 'METHOD FOR POOLING IN A PROOF-OF-SPACE-BASED BLOCKCHAIN VIA SINGLETONS
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for pooling and retrieving block rewards in a reward pool including an operator node and a set of member nodes in a distributed network extending a proof-of-space-based blockchain includes: submitting a transaction configured to generate a singleton in a set of singletons, the singleton including: an outer puzzle hash linking the singleton to a singleton puzzle hash; and an inner puzzle hash defining a pool address associated with the reward pool; generating a block including a proof-of-space and a block reward allocated to the singleton puzzle hash; detecting the block reward allocated to the singleton puzzle hash; identifying the singleton linked to the singleton puzzle hash; and submitting a transaction configured to: remove the singleton from the set of singletons; and transfer the block reward from the singleton puzzle hash to the pool address.
