Description

THREADZERO: A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GAS-FREE OFF-CHAIN ASSET  TRANSFER, CRYPTOGRAPHIC SOLVENCY VERIFICATION, AND PHYSICALLY-PEGGED  DIGITAL ASSET ISSUANCE USING MERKLE SUM SPARSE MERKLE TREES AND  TAPROOT-ANCHORED STATE COMMITMENTS

The present invention relates to methods and systems for transferring, 
verifying, and issuing digital assets that represent physical commodities, using off
chain Merkle Sum Sparse Merkle Tree state mutation anchored to a Bitcoin
compatible blockchain via single-satoshi Taproot commitment transactions. The 
present invention operates within the protocol infrastructure established in U.S. 
Patent Application No. 19/693,343 and extends that infrastructure with novel asset
layer methods addressing gas-free transfer, cryptographic solvency proof, physical
peg management, and cryptographically secured disaster recovery
