This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240020664 titled 'METHODS AND DEVICES FOR UTILIZING A CRYPTOCURRENCY BACKED DEBIT CARD

Simplified Explanation

Methods and systems for conducting a debit card-based transaction using a user with a crypto-currency account are disclosed. The user can enter into a smart contract with an externally owned account (EOA). Based on the smart contract, an authorizing entity can allow or deny a transaction request from a point-of-sale device to the card processor, depending on confirmation of the on-chain transaction.

  • The patent application describes a method for using a debit card linked to a crypto-currency account.
  • The user can enter into a smart contract with an externally owned account (EOA).
  • An authorizing entity can determine whether to allow or deny a transaction request based on the smart contract.
  • The decision is made based on confirmation of the on-chain transaction.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Facilitating transactions using crypto-currency accounts linked to debit cards.
  • Enabling users to make purchases using their crypto-currency funds.
  • Providing a secure and convenient way to use crypto-currencies for everyday transactions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overcoming the limitations of using crypto-currencies for transactions.
  • Allowing users to easily access and use their crypto-currency funds for purchases.
  • Providing a reliable and efficient method for authorizing transactions using smart contracts.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased convenience for users by allowing them to use their crypto-currency funds for everyday transactions.
  • Enhanced security through the use of smart contracts and confirmation of on-chain transactions.
  • Expanded usability of crypto-currencies by linking them to debit cards, making them more widely accepted.
