Introduction
The invention relates to a virtual currency transfer method and system designed for both online and offline transactions. This system leverages blockchain technology, security mechanisms, and optimized transaction fee structures to facilitate seamless digital asset transfers while reducing costs for users.
Background
Traditional payment methods such as cash, credit cards, and electronic wallets have evolved alongside technological advancements. However, the rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin has introduced new challenges, particularly concerning transaction fees. Each cryptocurrency transaction requires validation by network nodes (miners), incurring fees that accumulate over time. Existing solutions lack efficient methods to minimize these costs, prompting the need for an improved system.
Technical Solution
Key Components
Wallet Storage Module
Online Storage Unit: Functions as a digital wallet (hot wallet) and includes:
- Integration Unit: Consolidates transaction data and cryptographic values.
- Transaction Records: Stores account details, balances, cryptocurrency addresses, and transaction history.
Offline Storage Unit: Operates as a cold wallet (e.g., hardware wallet) and includes:
- Storage Unit: Safeguards cryptocurrency addresses and encrypted keys.
- Data Records: Contains account information and transaction logs.
- External Transaction Unit: Validates transactions via blockchain networks.
- Verification Node: Processes transactions and collects fees.
Workflow
Internal Transaction (Offline)
- Cryptocurrency addresses are transferred from the offline storage unit to the online storage unit.
- Addresses and encrypted keys are stored in the integration unit.
External Transaction (Online)
- The integration unit generates a transaction value using encrypted keys.
- The external transaction unit verifies the transaction’s validity.
- Upon confirmation, the verification node receives the transaction fee.
Advantages
- Reduced Fees: Users incur fees only during external transactions, avoiding repetitive costs for internal transfers.
- Enhanced Security: Offline storage minimizes exposure to cyber threats.
- Scalability: Supports multiple wallets and users within a single system.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How does this system reduce transaction fees?
By consolidating multiple internal transfers into a single external transaction, users pay fees only once, unlike traditional systems that charge per transaction.
2. What types of wallets are compatible?
The system supports hot wallets (online), cold wallets (offline), and lightweight wallets.
3. Is this method secure for high-value transactions?
Yes. Offline storage and encryption ensure robust security for sensitive transactions.
