  • Patent number: 11880372
    Abstract: A plurality of metadata entries may be sent from a database system to a distributed storage system via a communication interface. The metadata entries may correspond with a respective plurality of metadata identifiers. A first function in a smart contract deployed on a blockchain may be executed to mint a designated non-fungible token initially owned by a first blockchain party corresponding with a database system account. A first transaction transferring the designated non-fungible token to a second blockchain party different from the first blockchain party may be identified. A second function in the smart contract may be executed to record a second transaction updating an attribute value associated with the designated non-fungible token to include a designated one of the plurality of metadata identifiers corresponding with a designated one of the metadata entries.

  • Publication number: 20230368185
    Abstract: An instruction may be transmitted from a database system to a blockchain via a communication interface to deploy a smart contract to the blockchain. The smart contract may include a token transfer redemption policy identifying a designated recipient. A first blockchain transaction transferring a first quantity of a first token minted via the smart contract from a first blockchain party to a second blockchain party may be identified. The first blockchain transaction may involve the transfer of a second quantity of a second token from the second blockchain party to the first blockchain party. A third quantity of the second token may be transmitted to the designated recipient. The third quantity may be determined based on the token transfer redemption policy and the second quantity of the second token.
