Web3 based FinTech Case Study
nChain Patent US10776761 Virtual currency system
(https://patents.google.com/patent/US10776761)
A plurality of nodes implemented by computing devices in a network include sender and recipient nodes. The sender
node sends, to the validation node, a request to transfer an amount of virtual currency from a sender account
(associated with transaction receipts) to a recipient account. The request includes first copies of the receipts or
references thereto. The validation node requests second copies of the receipts from at least two of the nodes, and
receives the second copies from fewer than all of the nodes. The validation node determines whether the first copies
have been tampered with by comparing the first and second copies to one another. When tampering has not occurred,
at least one new receipt is generated indicating the amount has been transferred. Then, the at least one new receipt is
forwarded to fewer than all of the nodes for storage.
Main Objectives
Traditional ecommerce relies on financial intermediaries like banks and card associations, which adds transaction
costs, delays, risks, and operational constraints for merchants. These intermediaries also require strict know-your-
customer (KYC) policies, which may impede sales conversions and negatively impact the customer experience.
Alternative payment technologies, such as e-wallets, virtual currencies, and pre-paid debit cards, have been
developed to address some of these challenges. However, they still lack one or more of the four attributes of
traditional face-to-face cash transactions: direct transmission, irreversibility, price stability, and functionally (or
effectively) unlimited liquidity. This patented invention implements a virtual currency system designed to replicate
the four attributes of face-to-face cash transactions in the digital world. By leveraging a network with a ring
topology, a virtual currency mint, and various nodes, it enables efficient, secure, and user-friendly transactions in the
ecommerce space.
Technology Innovation
This patented invention addresses the four attributes of face-to-face cash transactions in the digital world: direct
transmission, irreversibility, price stability, and effectively unlimited liquidity.
Direct transmission: The invention uses a distributed hash table (DHT) for locating and routing transaction requests
between the sender and recipient nodes. The sender node identifies the recipient node's network address by looking
up the key value in the DHT and directly routes the transaction request to the recipient node for processing.

10. 10
Irreversibility: Once the new transaction receipt has been routed to the storage node or forwarded by the validation
computing device, the transaction becomes irreversible. This feature enhances the security and integrity of the
transactions in the virtual currency network.
Price stability: While the patent description does not directly address price stability, the invention's focus on secure
and efficient transactions contributes to overall trust in the virtual currency. A trusted and reliable network may help
support price stability in the long run.
Functionally (or effectively) unlimited liquidity: The invention supports a distributed network of nodes and
computing devices, where none of the devices store copies of all the transaction receipts within the network. This
decentralized approach enables the network to scale effectively and accommodate a large volume of transactions,
thereby providing a high level of liquidity.
Furthermore, the invention's methods enhance the security and efficiency of the virtual currency transactions. It
utilizes a series of validation steps, such as comparing first and second copies of transaction receipts, verifying
signatures, and employing handshake identifiers for joining nodes in the ring-shaped overlay network. These
security measures help create a more efficient, secure, and user-friendly solution for merchants and customers in the
e-commerce space.
Potential Products/Services
E-commerce platforms: The virtual currency system can be integrated into e-commerce platforms, allowing for
secure and efficient transactions between buyers and sellers. By utilizing the system's direct transmission,
irreversibility, and price stability, these platforms can create a seamless and secure shopping experience for users.

services for international money transfers. The system's direct transmission and irreversibility features can help
reduce transaction fees and processing times associated with cross-border payments.
Micropayment solutions: The virtual currency system can facilitate micropayments for digital content and services,
such as pay-per-view articles, in-app purchases, or tipping content creators. The system's effectively unlimited
liquidity and price stability features make it suitable for handling small transactions with minimal fees.
Digital wallets and payment gateways: The virtual currency system can be incorporated into digital wallets and
payment gateways, allowing users to store and manage their virtual currency securely. Merchants can also use these
payment gateways to accept virtual currency payments from customers, expanding their customer base and
providing an alternative payment method.

that offer various financial services such as lending, borrowing, and staking. The system's attributes can contribute
to the stability and security of these platforms, attracting users and fostering growth in the DeFi space.
In summary, the patented invention can be applied to various applications, products, and services in the fintech
space, including e-commerce platforms, P2P payment services, remittance services, micropayment solutions, digital
wallets, payment gateways, and DeFi platforms. By leveraging the four attributes of face-to-face cash transactions,
