The patent filed by Salesforce Inc. describes a method and system for deploying a smart contract with a minting function to a blockchain. The minting function includes an authorization portion that allows token minting only when requested by an authorized role. The system also records an association between an intermediary wallet's public key, the smart contract's unique identifier, and an intermediary minting role on the blockchain. Transactions involving minting tokens to designated wallets are identified and authorized based on the public key's application to the request information. The database system is updated to reflect these transactions, including creating designated wallets and maintaining records associated with minting and transferring tokens.
The method and system outlined in the patent involve transmitting instructions to deploy smart contracts to a blockchain, recording associations between wallets and roles, and managing token minting transactions. The system includes a communication interface, processor, and storage system to facilitate these operations. It allows for the creation of designated wallets, updating database records, and ensuring authorization based on the public key. The patent also covers scenarios where designated and intermediary wallets are identical, multiple records are maintained for different transactions, and the smart contract includes various roles and functions. Overall, the patent details a comprehensive approach to managing token minting processes on a blockchain using a database system.
