Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for secure and authenticated tracking of entity possession via a lightweight centralized or distributed ledger. Ownership records of different entities may be recorded on an immutable ledger such that provenance of the entities is verifiable and a user cannot create or counterfeit an entity. In some implementations, the system may store metadata of entities in a separate database that may store records for each entity and correspond to the respective entity's virtual identifier, enabling the ledger records to contain much less data, saving memory resources and the energy that is required to maintain the ledger. In some implementations, distributed incremental values may be provided to members of an ownership or possession chain of an entity, which may encourage compliance, reporting of ownership transfer, and encourage additional transfers.

Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for generating an augmented reality environment. An application executing on a computing device may receive a real-time video feed. The application may present the real-time video feed on a display of the computing device. The application may identify an image on a physical token from the real-time video feed. The application may select an animation from a set of one or more animations based on the identified image. The application may add the animation to the real-time video feed at an animation position above the physical token. The application may present the real-time video feed with the added animation.
