MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631004182 A) filed by Dr Himansu Mohan Padhy; Dr. Pranati Mishra; and Ms Chinmayee Padhy, Dr Himansu Mohan Padhy, Khurda, Odisha, on Jan. 15, for 'system and method for geo-distributed consensus optimization in edge-enabled blockchains.'
Inventor(s) include Dr Himansu Mohan Padhy; Dr. Pranati Mishra; and Ms Chinmayee Padhy.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention discloses a system and method for optimizing consensus in geo-distributed edge-enabled blockchains. Tailored for decentralized networks with nodes spanning global regions, it overcomes traditional limitations by incorporating geo-aware adaptations for enhanced efficiency. The architecture features: a topology unit for latency and location mapping; a core adaptive engine based on hybrid consensus models (e.g., latency-weighted PoS) that dynamically shards the network; a predictive ML component using reinforcement learning to forecast and tune parameters like block times; and recovery protocols for partition resilience. Edge-specific optimizations ensure lightweight operations on constrained devices. In operation, the system analyzes node metrics, predicts conditions, and executes consensus with minimal delays, suitable for real-time applications. For a benchmark network of 2,000 nodes, it delivers 500 TPS, 70% latency reduction, and 0.5% fork rate, outperforming baselines by 40%, with F1-scores 0.90 for attack detection. Applications include smart grids, where it verifies 90% of energy transactions accurately, and global finance for secure cross-border ledgers. Novelty lies in the geo-consensus fusion via graph-based modeling and predictive analytics, enabling nuanced handling of distributed variability absent in prior art. This promotes scalable, secure blockchains, fostering reliable edge computing ecosystems."
