US Patent 11245514 Blockchain delegation

Systems and methods that implement delegation on a blockchain network. A delegate blockchain transaction may be broadcasted to a blockchain network that encodes: a delegator blockchain user, a delegate blockchain user; information that indicates one or more permissions that the delegate blockchain user is authorized to perform, and an attestation that the delegator blockchain user authorizes the delegation. A delegate blockchain user may generate a blockchain transaction which is digitally signed using a delegate's private key in place of a delegator's private key.
