Inventor(s) include Dr. Sridevi K N; Dr. Prabhavathi K; K Sangeetha Supriya; Prof. Dr. Kamal Alaskar; Prof. Bojja Vani; Dr. Sangeetha G; Dr. Nathrao Ankushrao Kedar; and Prof. Sandeep B.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides an energy-efficient consensus protocol for blockchain networks, integrating energy-aware node classification, dynamic validation assignment, hybrid cryptographic verification, and an adaptive reward mechanism. Nodes are categorized based on computational capacity, energy availability, and historical reliability, with Primary, Secondary, and Light Validators performing tiered validation tasks. The protocol dynamically adjusts validation responsibilities and rewards based on real-time network conditions and energy metrics, reducing redundant computations and minimizing environmental impact. This invention enables scalable, secure, and sustainable blockchain operations across public, private, and consortium networks, making it suitable for large-scale applications while promoting energy-efficient and environmentally responsible blockchain deployment."
