DECENTRALIZED ASSET IDENTIFIERS FOR CROSS-BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS

Abstract:

Described are techniques for generating and employing decentralized asset identifiers for cross-blockchain network asset transfers, the techniques including registering a decentralized asset identifier to an asset with a local asset identifier, where the decentralized asset identifier is immutable. The techniques further include endorsing a proposed transaction for transferring the asset from a first controller associated with a first blockchain network to a second controller associated with a second blockchain network, where the proposed transaction utilizes the decentralized asset identifier. The techniques further include exchanging, in a document associated with the decentralized asset identifier and retrieved from an identity network, the first controller for the second controller.
