China Unicom Applies for Patent on Smart Contract Code Development, Enhancing Blockchain Development Efficiency

Financial World, October 17, 2024 - According to information from the State Intellectual Property Office, China United Network Communications Group Co., Ltd. (China Unicom) has applied for a patent titled "Code Development Method, Device, Equipment, Medium and Program Product for Smart Contracts," with a publication number of CN118778938A, and an application date of July 2024.

This patent aims to provide an efficient method for developing smart contract code in the blockchain development field. The patent abstract indicates that the method utilizes Java code as the source code for smart contracts and processes it through a series of steps to ultimately generate executable code in the target language type for the target blockchain.

Specifically, the method involves the following steps:

1. Obtain the smart contract source code to be translated: The method obtains the smart contract source code to be translated from Java code, serving as the foundation for subsequent processing.

2. Compile the smart contract source code: The method compiles the obtained smart contract source code, ensuring the correctness of the code's syntax and logic.

3. Validate the smart contract source code: After successful compilation, the method further validates the smart contract source code, ensuring it meets security and compliance requirements.

4. Obtain the translation information for the smart contract source code: The method obtains translation information for the smart contract source code, including the target blockchain type, target language type, etc.

5. Translate the smart contract source code based on the translation information: Based on the obtained translation information, the method translates the smart contract source code, converting Java code into executable code in the target language type for the target blockchain.

The method proposed in this patent, through a series of steps, realizes automatic generation and translation of smart contract code, effectively reducing the difficulty of smart contract development. At the same time, the method, through compilation and validation, effectively reduces the probability of errors during subsequent on-chain environment testing, improves the efficiency of smart contract development, and reduces the workload involved in developing smart contracts.

China Unicom, as a leading domestic telecommunications operator, has been actively deploying blockchain technology in recent years and has achieved a series of breakthroughs. This application for a patent on smart contract code development demonstrates China Unicom's continued efforts in promoting blockchain technology development and will provide more support for driving the application of blockchain technology in various industries. The implementation of this patented technology is expected to further promote the application of blockchain technology in various industries, accelerating the development of the digital economy.
