US Patent 11785079 Free storage protocol for blockchain platform

An approach is disclosed for providing free storage to a client on a blockchain platform. A number of free storage markers targeted for the client is generated by a governing entity. After validating the client by the governing entity, the number of free storage markers are transferred to the client where the free storage markers include a timestamp, a number of tokens, a client identification, an expiration, and a governing entity signature. An allocation from the number of free storage markers received from the client is processed by the governing entity for storage access.
