Application: Access controls for a decentralized network (Patent ID: US20240161072A1)

Block Inc. has filed a patent for a decentralized node system that generates a network of nodes storing, receiving, and transmitting data based on specific rules. The decentralized node associates decentralized identities with entities and presents user interfaces with access controls for managing third-party access to decentralized identity data. The system locates and transmits decentralized identity data based on rules specified by third-party entities, allowing for secure and controlled data access.

The patent includes claims for methods and computing devices implementing personal data stores within decentralized nodes. These personal data stores control third-party access through application programming interfaces and user-specified rules. The system allows for automatic association of decentralized identity data with application programming interfaces, user selection of rules, and upload of data accessible via the personal data store. Additionally, the patent covers the use of machine learning models for data association, access controls for service providers, and the maintenance of decentralized identities as part of a shared resource within a distributed state machine.
