  • Publication number: 20230394545
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating purchase offer selection across multiple online sales platforms are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain first information defining a first sales listing of a particular virtual item on a first online sales platform; obtain second information defining a second sales listing of the particular virtual item on a second online sales platform; receive at least two indications of offers to purchase the particular virtual item; obtain information that represents at least one sales characteristic by which the offers to purchase the particular virtual item are to be ranked according to desirability; determine and compare a first metric value for the first offer and a second metric value for the second offer; and determine an accepted offer that is accepted based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20230388132
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining authenticity of non-fungible digital assets are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: store information, wherein the stored information includes information regarding a given type of digital assets, including a first digital asset; generate a first quantity of encoded information, based on encoding an identifier of a smart contract and an asset-specific identifier that identifies the first digital asset; generate a digital signature of the first quantity of encoded information, wherein the digital signature is based on a private key associated with the smart contract; and record the first quantity of encoded information and the digital signature as part of the metadata of the first digital asset.

  • Publication number: 20230316248
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a bridge server to support multiple shards of blockchains are disclosed. The multiple shards may be used to record ownership rights of in-game digital assets. The in-game digital assets may be usable in an online gaming platform. Exemplary implementations may: execute an instance of a game; maintain user accounts for the users of a blockchain on a first and a second decentralized ledger server; record sets of rights pertaining to sets of digital assets; receive an exchange request for a first digital asset; receive transferal information for the first digital asset; transfer sets of instructions to the first and second decentralized ledger servers such that the first decentralized ledger server removes the first digital asset from the first set of digital assets and the second decentralized ledger server adds the first digital asset to the second set of digital assets.
