==PARTITIONING A BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240048378 titled 'PARTITIONING A BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for validating a blockchain transaction. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* The method involves requesting information about at least one unspent transaction output (UTXO) referenced by the transaction from a member node of a shard.
* The validity data of the UTXO is obtained from at least one node.
* A validation check is performed on at least one input of the transaction using the validity data.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Blockchain transactions: This method can be used to validate transactions in a blockchain network, ensuring the inputs are valid and preventing fraudulent or invalid transactions.
* Smart contracts: By validating the inputs of a smart contract transaction, this method can enhance the security and reliability of smart contract execution.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Fraud prevention: The validation check helps prevent fraudulent or invalid transactions from being included in the blockchain, maintaining the integrity of the network.
* Trust and reliability: By validating the inputs, this method ensures that only valid transactions are processed, increasing trust and reliability in the blockchain network.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enhanced security: The validation check adds an extra layer of security to the blockchain network, reducing the risk of fraudulent or malicious transactions.
* Efficient transaction processing: By validating the inputs beforehand, unnecessary processing of invalid transactions can be avoided, improving the efficiency of the network.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a computer-implemented method of validating a blockchain transaction is disclosed. the method comprises requesting at least one utxo referenced by at least one respective input of the transaction from a member node of at least one shard comprising at least one utxo, obtaining validity data of at least one utxo from at least one node, and performing a validation check on at least one input using the validity data.
