Abstract: Systems and techniques to associate tokens with environmentally-conscious activity are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for associating access rights with an resource. The method encodes information associated with an action as a token, wherein: the token is associated with an resource and a public key; and the token includes access rights to the resource. The method receives, from an entity, a request for access rights to the token, associated with: an identifier for the entity; and a claim that the entity performed the action. The method retrieves audit data, associated with the entity, from a verifier. When the audit data verifies that the entity did perform the action: the method generates a private key that provides access rights to at least one of the token or the resource. When the audit data verifies that the entity did perform the action: the method transmits the private key to the entity.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for implementing blockchain-based content engagement platforms. In several embodiments, the content engagement platform includes a registry service which enables verified content creators to mint Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). In many embodiments, media wallet applications enable users to securely store NFTs and/or other tokens on their devices. In a number of embodiments, the media wallet applications collect data concerning media consumed by users and aggregate the media consumption data in a permissioned analytics blockchain. The manner in which the media consumption data is stored can enable users to control permission to access their personal data. In one embodiment, a media wallet is provided that can securely store NFTs, display a user interface through which user instructions concerning data access permissions are received, and cause media consumption data to be written to at least one immutable ledger in conjunction with a set of data access permissions.

The method assesses whether the transaction request is authorized. When the transaction request is assessed to be authorized: the method obtaining a mapping including: the first token identifier, and a record of tokens owned by the first token; and grants ownership access over the second token to the first token, based on the mapping and the second token identifier. Granting ownership access over the second token to the first token includes adding the second token identifier to the record of tokens owned by the first token.
