Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to distributed ledge technologies such as consensus-based blockchains. Computer-implemented methods for a secure random number generation within blockchain scripts are described. The invention is implemented using a blockchain network, which may be, for example, a Bitcoin blockchain. A third transaction is validated. The third transaction is associated with a third digital asset and includes a first and second puzzle in a locking script. The first puzzle is included, in a first transaction, in a first locking script that encumbers transfer of control of a first digital. The second puzzle is included, in a second transaction, in a second locking script that encumbers transfer of control of a second digital asset. A pseudorandom number is generated based at least in part on solutions to the first and second puzzles. Control of the third digital asset is transferred based at least in part on the pseudorandom number.
