Abstract
The invention presents a solution in which blockchain transactions are created to implement the functionality of a logic gate. The invention may be implemented on the Bitcoin platform or an alternative blockchain platform. The transaction includes a locking script which comprises instructions to process Boolean inputs and implement the functionality of a logic gate, such as the XOR gate. When the script is executed, the inputs will be evaluated, using computing agents, to provide an output of TRUE or FALSE, and the output will be subsequently provided to an unlocking script associated with a second transaction attempting to spend the output associated with the locking script. The second transaction is transmitted to the blockchain network for validation and, if determined to be valid (evaluated to a TRUE output), it will be written to the blockchain. Thus, the locking script of the first transaction provides the functionality.
