ENABLING CRYPTOGRAPHIC TRANSFERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240273522 titled 'ENABLING CRYPTOGRAPHIC TRANSFERS

The abstract describes a system for performing cryptographic operations related to transferring non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on a blockchain.

  • The system receives identifiers for blockchain operation requests, such as bids, to transfer control of an NFT from one blockchain address to another in exchange for payment.
  • Visual indications of the operation requests are provided to a user device associated with a cryptography-based storage application.
  • The system can receive approval commands from the user device and determine on-chain programs for transferring the NFT.
  • Requests to transfer the NFT to the approved blockchain address are submitted to the on-chain program.
    • Potential Applications:**

- Secure transfer of NFTs on blockchain platforms - Facilitating transactions involving NFTs and fungible tokens - Enhancing user control and security in blockchain operations

    • Problems Solved:**

- Ensuring secure and transparent transfer of NFTs - Streamlining the process of exchanging NFTs for payment - Providing visual cues for user interaction with blockchain operations

    • Benefits:**

- Increased security in NFT transactions - Simplified process for transferring NFTs between addresses - Enhanced user experience through visual feedback

    • Commercial Applications:**

Potential commercial applications include NFT marketplaces, blockchain gaming platforms, and digital art platforms. This technology can streamline transactions involving NFTs and improve user trust and security in blockchain operations.

    • Questions about Cryptographic Operations:**

1. How does the system ensure the security of NFT transfers on the blockchain? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the NFT market and blockchain industry as a whole?


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and systems are described herein for performing cryptographic operations. in particular, the system receives identifiers for blockchain operation requests (e.g., bids) for transferring control of a non-fungible token (nft) from a first blockchain address to a second blockchain address in exchange for payment (e.g., fungible tokens). the system provides visual indications of the blockchain operation requests to a first user device associated with a first cryptography-based storage application (e.g., an address associated with a cryptographic wallet of a user). the system may receive, from the first user device, a command to approve one of the blockchain operation requests and may determine an on-chain program (e.g., smart contract) for transferring the nft. the system may submit, to the on-chain program, a request to transfer the nft to the second blockchain address associated with the approved first blockchain operation request.
