Abstract

A system, method, and computer program for a blockchain-supported programmable information management and data distribution system for decentralized application development that integrates scalability power with functional decentralized application development environment and high data storage capacity. The system may comprise a virtual machine that supports and unites on-chain logic capabilities and off-chain data management capabilities. On-chain logic capabilities may comprise application of rate-limiting capabilities, use of currency, and delegated asynchronous proof-of-stake functionality. Off-chain data management capabilities may comprise an artifact network, multi-party protocol, and analytic capabilities. Incorporation of smart contracts may be supported directly by the virtual machine.

Claims

1. A blockchain-supported programmable information management and data distribution system, the system comprising a processor, memory accessible by the processor, and instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to perform:

establishing custody of at least one artifact;

generating an update to the system, wherein the update to the system is generated by;

generating at least one transaction upon the establishing custody of at least one artifact;

validating the at least one transaction;

accepting the at least one transaction into a ledger; and

executing the at least one transaction;

transmitting to a virtual machine confirmation of an update of the at least one artifact; and

transmitting to a virtual machine confirmation of the executing the at least one transaction.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

transmitting the update of the at least one artifact to an artifact network, wherein the artifact network stores the at least one artifact; and

transmitting to the ledger a state of the update of the at least one artifact.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

transmitting at least one smart contract to the virtual machine; and

publishing the at least one smart contract to the ledger.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one artifact comprises a data object.

5. The system of claim 1, comprising one or more actors, wherein an actor comprises at least one of:

a stakeholder, an uploader, a downloader, a farmer, or combinations thereof.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein actions by the one or more actors comprises at least one of:

generating one or more updates to the ledger, generating an upload of at least one artifact, receiving the upload of at least one artifact, downloading the at least one artifact, delivering the upload of at least one artifact, or combinations thereof.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein the one or more actors comprises a distributed hash table.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the generating an update to the system comprises an account state;

wherein the account state comprises a state of account balances.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the generating an update to the system comprises an election state;

wherein the election state elects a quorum of validators; and

wherein the election state comprises stakeholders voting on at least one of;

a count property, a salary property, a delegates property, or combinations thereof.

10. The system of claim 1, further comprising a storage orderbook, wherein the storage orderbook comprises agreements between two or more of the actors.

11. A method for a blockchain-supported programmable information management and data distribution system, comprising:

establishing custody of at least one artifact;

generating an update to the system, wherein the update to the system is generated by;

generating at least one transaction upon the establishing custody of at least one artifact;

validating the at least one transaction;

accepting the at least one transaction into a ledger; and

executing the at least one transaction;

transmitting to a virtual machine confirmation of an update of the at least one artifact; and

transmitting to a virtual machine confirmation of the executing the at least one transaction.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

transmitting the update of the at least one artifact to an artifact network, wherein the artifact network stores the at least one artifact; and

transmitting to the ledger a state of the update of the at least one artifact.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

transmitting at least one smart contract to the virtual machine; and

publishing the at least one smart contract to the ledger.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one artifact comprises a data object.

15. The method of claim 11, comprising one or more actors, wherein an actor comprises at least one of:

a stakeholder, an uploader, a downloader, a farmer, or combinations thereof.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein actions by the one or more actors comprises at least one of:

generating one or more updates to the ledger, generating an upload of at least one artifact, receiving the upload of at least one artifact, downloading the at least one artifact, delivering the upload of at least one artifact, or combinations thereof.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the one or more actors comprises a distributed hash table.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein the generating an update to the system comprises an account state;

wherein the account state comprises a state of account balances.

19. The method of claim 11, wherein the generating an update to the system comprises an election state;

wherein the election state elects a quorum of validators; and

wherein the election state comprises stakeholders voting on at least one of;

a count property, a salary property, a delegates property, or combinations thereof.

20. The method of claim 11, further comprising a storage orderbook, wherein the storage orderbook comprises agreements between two or more of the actors
