Mitigation of cryptographic asset attacks

Protects access to a resource by generating a second token cryptographically bound to an original token and placing it in a separate wallet. The original can stay in cold storage while the bound token grants access.

Disclosed is a computing system and method for protecting access to a particular resource. The computing device can identify a first cryptographic token in a first digital wallet. The first cryptographic token is configured to provide access to a particular resource. The computing device can generate a second cryptographic token bound to the first cryptographic token. The computing device can transfer the second cryptographic token to a second digital wallet based on the first cryptographic token. The computing device can access the particular resource based on the second cryptographic token being in the second digital wallet.

US 2025/0272676 A1

Mitigation of cryptographic asset attacks

A service registered with a wallet decodes each requested transfer (source, destination, activity, inputs and signature), decides whether to permit it, and queues denied transfers for the account holder to review.

Disclosed is a computing system and method for protecting access to a particular resource. The computing device can register a service with a digital wallet associated with a user account for processing of cryptographic transactions. The computing device can receive, via the digital wallet, a request to perform a transfer of a cryptographic asset. The request can include encoded transfer data. The computing device can decode the encoded transfer data to determine decoded transfer data comprising a source, a destination, an activity, at least one input for the activity, and a digital signature. The computing device can analyze the decoded transfer data to determine whether to permit the transfer of the cryptographic asset for the request. The computing device can store the request to perform the transfer in a queue for review by the user account in response to determining to deny the transfer.
