The patent US12067377B2 outlines a system and method for generating smart contracts tailored for blockchain platforms. Central to this innovation is a template generator engine that processes natural language input to create a Domain Specific Language (DSL) construct. This process involves disintegrating the DSL into a stream of tokens, performing syntax analysis to ensure compliance with a predefined grammar, and transforming the valid tokens into an organized structure known as an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). The system is designed to generate a target code template that is deployable on a specific blockchain platform, incorporating various attributes such as asset definitions, function definitions, and contract definitions that reflect the user story in a domain-specific format.

The template generator engine further includes components such as a lexer for grammar definition, a semantic analyzer for validating the AST, and a smart contract file generator that produces files in an xtend format. This xtend file contains the necessary structure, mappings, and functions required for the smart contract. The method also emphasizes the importance of maintaining the order of execution and the integrity of the source code details within the AST. Ultimately, the system aims to streamline the smart contract creation process, allowing for the generation of a single solidity code template that encompasses all required elements from a single xtend file, thereby enhancing efficiency and accuracy in smart contract deployment.
