Methods and systems described herein may implement non-fungible tokens that implement a programmable grammar-based syntax in a variety of environments. In an embodiment, a first non-fungible token that implements a programmable grammar-based syntax standard and includes a first updatable programmable section is generated. The first non-fungible token includes at least one of first executable instructions or first data, and a first portion of the at least one of the first executable instructions or the first data is stored, according to the grammar-based syntax standard, in the first updatable programmable section. The first non-fungible token may then be stored at a first blockchain address on a blockchain, and the first portion of the at least one of the first executable instructions or the first data in the first updatable programmable section of the first non-fungible token is subsequently changed to at least one of second executable instructions or second data.

Advanced non-fungible token blockchain architecture

Mechanisms for efficiently transferring multiple unspent transaction output (UTXO) tokens in a blockchain network operating a UTXO-based token transaction model are disclosed herein. These methods allow for the use of less computer processing and network bandwidth resources in the transfer of blockchain items, particularly in blockchain schemes with lineage tracking mechanisms (e.g. as may allow for clawback of tokens). Some embodiments comprise generating a delegated account and transferring the UTXO tokens into the delegated account. The ownership of the delegated account can then be transferred to another use of the blockchain network in a single transaction, thereby avoiding the need to individually transfer the UTXO tokens and incur the memory and computational resource burden and costs associated with therewith.

Methods and systems for transferring unspent transaction output (UTXO) tokens in a blockchain network

Different communication and software protocols may be used by different blockchain networks. Cross-chain communication is provided via a software bridge configured to enable specific operations. An event request may be sent from a first blockchain network to a second blockchain network. The event request may be processed using a first protocol of the first network to provide a first output. An offer of equivalent processing provided by the second network may be verified by: processing the event request using a second protocol of the second network to provide a second output, and confirming that the second output matches the offer of equivalent processing. A processing equivalence of the event request may be established between the first network and the second network based on the first output of the event request processed using the first protocol and the second output of the event request processed using the second protocol.

Universally trusted bridges for heterogenous blockchain networks

Tracking and clawing back unspent transaction output (UTXO) tokens mechanism are disclosed for distributed ledger technology-based networks (DLTNs) operating a UTXO-based token transaction model (which can include blockchain networks). Some embodiments comprise receiving a request to transfer a UTXO token in a DLTN operating a UTXO-based token transaction model. Further, the embodiments can include determining that a clawback list includes the genesis token identifier and barred token identifiers of UTXO tokens barred from being transferred on the DLTN. In addition, the embodiments can include determining whether the clawback list includes any of the ancestral token identifiers of the UTXO token and generating an instruction regulating the transfer of the UTXO token in the DLTN based on the determining whether the clawback list includes any of the ancestral token identifiers. Such techniques improve the security and functionality of DLTNs such as a blockchain network.
