Patent US10614456

Dynamic cryptocurrency aliasing

Described herein is a system in which temporary aliases may be associated with, and maintained with respect to, cryptocurrency addresses. In some embodiments, the system enables a temporary alias to be used by a mobile application (e.g., a wallet application) in a cryptocurrency transaction. In some embodiments, temporary aliases may be assigned from a pool of procedurally-generated aliases. In some embodiments, the temporary alias may be valid for a predetermined amount of time or number of transactions. For example, the system may assign a new temporary alias to a cryptocurrency address for each transaction and/or after a predetermined amount of time has elapsed.
