Abstract:

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing declarative smart actions for coins and assets transacted onto a blockchain using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in conjunction with a cloud based computing environment are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a system having at least a processor and a memory therein executing within a host organization, in which such a system includes means for executing a blockchain services interface on behalf of on behalf of a plurality of tenants; in which a blockchain protocol for the blockchain defines a group of base functions for the blockchain, the group of base functions accessible to any participating node of the blockchain. Such a system further includes a receive interface to receive a declaration of a new custom function, the declaration specifying each of (i) a base function and (ii) one or more additional mandatory fields to be captured with the use of the new custom function and (iii) a new custom function name for the new custom function declared and means for associating a smart contract with the new custom function; means for writing metadata onto the blockchain defining the new custom function; means for receiving a transaction for the blockchain matching the new custom function; and means for adding the transaction to a new block on the blockchain via the base function specified by the new custom function pursuant to successful validation by the smart contract. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing certificates of authenticity of digital twins transacted onto a blockchain using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in conjunction with a cloud based computing environment are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a system which includes means for operating a first blockchain interface to a private blockchain on behalf of a product manufacturer, in which the product manufacturer has access permissions to the private blockchain; means for operating a second blockchain interface to a public blockchain on behalf of a plurality of tenants of the host organization including the product manufacturer; means for providing a plurality of templates for certificates of authenticity to the plurality of tenants; means for generating a digital twin for a finished goods product by the product manufacturer, the digital twin having embedded therein a new certificate of authenticity generated using one of the plurality of templates, the new certificate of authenticity uniquely identifying the finished goods product by a product identifier specified with the new certificate of authenticity; means for transacting the digital twin onto the private blockchain; means for transferring ownership of the digital twin from the product manufacturer to a purchaser; and means for writing a unique ID identifying the digital twin on the public blockchain into the asset on the private blockchain within which the digital twin is stored. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
