Nevada Patent of the Month – November 2024
LedgerDomain has introduced a transformative approach to secure, authenticated communication with its innovative two-way messaging system leveraging verifiable credentials. This system addresses critical issues of credential theft, misinformation, and the need for seamless authentication in the digital age, providing users with a powerful and secure messaging platform that eliminates the reliance on traditional accounts.
At the core of the system is its ability to authenticate both sender and recipient identities using decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs). By generating a unique, traceable link for each message, the platform ensures that messages are securely exchanged and content integrity is maintained throughout the process. This system also eliminates the need for account creation, allowing users to communicate without sharing unnecessary personal information, enhancing both security and privacy.
The innovative “plum” architecture further ensures content provenance. Each message version is recorded as a cryptographically sealed unit, with a chain of plums capturing every update or modification. This provides an immutable audit trail, making it impossible for bad actors to alter content without detection. The system can verify the authenticity of each message and its history, offering peace of mind to users in high-stakes environments.
By incorporating cryptographic wallets and supporting standards like Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) verifiable credentials, the platform delivers a cutting-edge, interoperable solution. Whether for business, healthcare, or personal communication, LedgerDomain’s innovation provides robust defenses against phishing, credential stuffing, and data breaches, ensuring trust in every interaction.
This groundbreaking system redefines how secure communication is managed, empowering users with tools to authenticate, exchange, and verify information without compromising privacy. LedgerDomain’s commitment to secure, decentralized technology is setting a new standard for authenticated messaging in an increasingly interconnected world.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
