DTCC Digital Patent for Cross-Network Transaction Management
Summary
USPTO granted US Patent 12,609,849 B2 to DTCC DIGITAL (US) INC. on April 21, 2026. The patent covers a method and system for managing cross-network transactions spanning multiple heterogeneous computing networks, using a graph structure with transaction nodes and bridges to define transaction paths. Disclosed implementations enable value transfers and conversion spanning dissimilar digital communication networks using a ledger-agnostic overlay and computing architecture. The patent contains 20 claims and was filed on September 18, 2023.
“A method and system for interfacing heterogenous computing networks to accomplish a cross-network that spans at least two networks and has a source node and a destination node.”

What changed
USPTO granted US Patent 12,609,849 B2 to DTCC DIGITAL (US) INC. covering a method and system for managing cross-network transactions spanning multiple heterogeneous computing networks. The invention uses a graph structure with transaction nodes within transfer networks and bridges spanning networks to define transaction paths. Each node has attribute variables specifying supported tokens, and source and destination nodes connect via out-of-band network paths separate from bridge paths.
For legal professionals and technology companies in fintech, digital payments, and financial infrastructure, this patent establishes IP rights that may be relevant to anyone developing similar cross-network transaction or ledger-agnostic overlay architectures. The patent's broad claim scope covering graph-based transaction path determination across dissimilar networks could affect product development roadmaps in the digital asset transfer space.

Abstract
A method and system for interfacing heterogenous computing networks to accomplish a cross-network that spans at least two networks and has a source node and a destination node. A graph structure is traversed to define a transaction path. The graph structure includes transaction nodes within transfer networks and bridges that span networks. Each node in the graph structure exists on a network and has an associated set of attribute variables that specify supported tokens. A bridge path defined by two nodes spanning two logical networks is determined. The source node and the destination node are also connected via one or more out of band network paths which are separate from the bridge path. Disclosed implementations link the speed and convenience of peer-to-peer conversion models with business-to-business trading channels using a ledger-agnostic overlay and computing architecture to enable value transfers and conversion spanning dissimilar digital communication networks.
