Abstract
A computer-implemented method of generating a transaction for a blockchain, the transaction being for transferring an amount of a digital asset from a first party to a second party. The method comprises generating a first transaction comprising an output locking the amount of the digital asset, the output comprising an output script comprising a plurality of criterion components each requiring a respective input data item, and a plurality of counter script components. Each criterion component is associated with one of the counter script components. The output script is configured so as to, when executed alongside an input script of a second transaction, i) increment a counter each time a respective criterion component is satisfied by a respective input data item of the input script, and ii) to require the counter to increment to at least a predetermined number in order to be unlocked by the input script.
