  • Publication number: 20230410066
    Abstract: A system includes a hardware processor and a memory storing software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to determine how many users are present at a location at a starting time of an NFT acquisition event, identify, based on how many users are present, a collaborative activity for the users, the collaborative activity requiring relinquishment of a plurality of NFTs, and communicate the collaborative activity to the users. The hardware processor further executes the software code to verify that the collaborative activity has been completed, and provide, in response to verifying, one or more new NFT(s) for distribution to at least one of the users, wherein (i) a value associated with the new NFT(s) exceeds a value of the NFTs relinquished, or (ii) a number of the NFTs relinquished exceeds a number of the new NFT(s).

  • Publication number: 20230376572
    Abstract: A system includes a hardware processor and a memory storing software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive a request from a user to link a non-fungible token (NFT) with a user account of the user, verify, in response to receiving the request, ownership of the NFT by the user, and link, in response to verifying, the NFT to the user account. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the software code to modify, based on at least one of the content viewing history of the user or a release date of a content available to the user, one or more attributes of the NFT.

  • Publication number: 20230297345
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a system includes a hardware processor and a memory storing software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive ownership data identifying a unique digital identifier conferring ownership, by a user, of an asset awarded by a first entity, confirm, using the unique digital identifier, ownership of the asset by the user, and verify, using the unique digital identifier, that a second entity is an authorized asset redemption partner of the first entity. The hardware processor further executes the software code to enable, using the unique digital identifier and in response to confirming and verifying, the user to redeem the asset awarded by the first entity from the second entity via transfer from a first digital wallet linked to the first entity to a second digital wallet linked to the second entity, either automatically or in response to an authentication performed by the user.
