METHOD AND SYSTEM TO DELEGATE ISSUANCE CAPABILITY TO A THIRD-PARTY

Abstract:

Delegating issuance capability to a third-party of fungible digital assets involves a central (e.g., central bank) processor receiving a request to issue fungible digital assets from a third-party node; verifying the request; validating request to issue fungible digital assets from the third-party; approving or rejecting the request; if the request to issue fungible digital assets is approved, creating an issuance authorization message; executing a smart contract clause to add an entity of the third-party node to a list of authorized entities; publishing the issuance authorization message on a blockchain indicating that a third-party node has been added to the list of authorized entities; and publishing a revocation message on the blockchain revoking an authorization granted to the third-party node to issue digital assets.
