The operations my further include communicating notification of the event through a communication interface with the bound merchant.
US12033146B2	Script based blockchain interaction There may be provided a computer-implemented method. It may be implemented using a blockchain network such as, for example, the Bitcoin network. The computer-implemented method includes: i) receiving, at a node in a blockchain network, a first transaction associated with a digital asset, the first transaction specifying at least: a) a first set of constraints on a second transaction to transfer control of the digital asset, the first set of constraints including one or more constraints that cause the second transaction to contain a set of data from a blockchain; and b) a second set of constraints on the second transaction, the second set of constraints including one or more constraints associated with data items of the set of data; ii) verifying that the first set of constraints and the second set of constraints are satisfied; and iii) reassociating the digital asset based at least in part on the verifying.
US12033145B2	Systems and methods for facilitating account verification over a network In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods for facilitating electronic commerce over a network include generating a transfer code for a client, associating the transfer code to a client account related to the client, providing the transfer code to the client over the network, receiving a fund transfer request from a trusted entity on behalf of the client over the network, the fund transfer request including the transfer code, extracting information from the fund transfer request including the transfer code associated with the fund transfer request, accessing the client account related to the client, extracting information from the client account including the transfer code associated with the client account, and verifying the transfer code of the fund transfer request by determining whether the transfer code associated with the client account matches the transfer code extracted from the fund transfer request.
US12033144B2	Systems and methods for improved indexing of non-standardized, custom smart contracts Methods and systems for improved indexing of non-standardized, custom smart contracts. The improved indexer identifies custom landmarks (e.g., portions of bytecode indicative of custom smart contract transactions or particular functions in those transactions) that are indicative of transactions involving custom smart contracts (as well as the various attributes of those custom smart contracts). The indexer does this by first collecting bytecode for a subset of known transactions involving the custom smart contracts. The indexer then compares the bytecode of the custom smart contracts in the subset to identify the landmarks or probabilities that portions of the bytecode correspond to landmarks. Once these landmarks are identified (or a probability of the landmark is above a certain threshold), the indexer may designate these as known landmarks. The indexer may then compare the portion of the bytecode corresponding to the known landmark to raw bytecode. Upon detecting a match (or a probability of a match above a certain threshold), the indexer may identify the transaction and/or attributes of the transaction.
US12033142B2	Authenticator app for consent architecture A method 1000 for authenticating operations within consent architecture includes obtaining an operation request 142 requesting a service application 140 to access a remote entity 130 to perform an operation (138). The method also includes issuing, by the service application, an authentication request 152 requesting an authenticator application 150 to obtain user authentication credentials 154 for authenticating a user 12 before the remote entity performs the operation. The method also includes encrypting, by the authenticator application, the obtained user authentication credentials using a public key 132 of the remote entity. The service application is restricted from obtaining the user authentication credentials in unencrypted form. The method also includes providing, by the authenticator application, the encrypted user authentication credentials to the service application and transmitting, by the service application, the operation request and the encrypted user authentication credentials to the remote entity.
US12033141B2	Crypto currency chargeback system Distributed crypto currency chargeback systems and methods include at least one system provider device receiving, through a network from a payer device associated with a payer, a chargeback report associated with a first transaction of a plurality of transactions performed using a distributed crypto currency, where the first transaction involves the payer and a payee. The at least one system provider device publishes the chargeback report in a chargeback ledger. The at least one system provider device receives, through the network from a payee device associated with the payee subsequent to publishing the chargeback ledger including the chargeback report, a chargeback response associated with the first transaction. The at least one system provider device then publishes the chargeback response in the chargeback ledger.
US12033130B2	Smart stager Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a money transfer network system that improves the performance of money transfer services provided via the money transfer network system and improves the performance of the underlying devices utilized to provide money transfer services. In particular, disclosed embodiments of a money transfer network system provide money transfer services that enable multiple users to engage in money transfer transactions as either a sending party or a receiving party in a manner that is similar to money transfer transactions executed between two users individually. Disclosed embodiments further enable a receiving party to request payment from a sending party, which may include scheduling recurring payments to be made via money transfer transactions.
