Abstract: Technical solutions are described that enable players of an electronic game to earn in-game virtual awards (e.g., in-game virtual currency) nearly instantly or in real-time when the players reserve a travel-related experience, such as a hotel or car rental. In contrast to existing solutions, embodiments disclosed herein provide in-game virtual awards without significant delay after reservation of the travel-related experience, because the in-game virtual awards are controlled in the closed-loop ecosystem of the electronic game. In some examples, the players reserve the travel-related experience via the electronic game.

Abstract: A computer system operates an off-chain electronic game that includes in-game assets stored off of a blockchain. The computer system detects an occurrence of a progression event related to a particular in-game asset associated with a particular player. In response to the occurrence, the computer system increases an upgrade capacity of the particular in-game asset. The upgrade capacity controls a maximum number of attribute upgrades that can be applied to the particular in-game asset at a time. The computer system then permits or prevents application of attribute upgrades to the particular in-game asset based on the upgrade capacity. The computer system further permits or prevents application of attribute upgrades based on whether the attribute upgrades are being applied to other off-chain electronic games. An interoperability API is used to determine whether a given attribute upgrade is being used in another game.

Abstract: A computer system operates an off-chain electronic game that includes in-game assets stored off of a blockchain. The off-chain electronic game is provided by the system with one or more other electronic games. Each of the electronic games are configured to incorporate or integrate the use of on-chain cryptographic assets for in-game leveling and progression. The system implements an interoperability application programming interface (API) that controls usage of an on-chain cryptographic asset between different electronic games. In some examples, the interoperability API permits usage of an on-chain cryptographic asset in only one electronic game in only one point in time. In response to a query by an electronic game that specifies a given asset, the interoperability API can provide a response that indicates that the given asset is already in use in a different game and is not permitted for usage in the electronic game.

Abstract: A computer system operates an off-chain electronic game that includes in-game assets stored off of a blockchain. The off-chain electronic game is configured to incorporate on-chain cryptographic assets related to in-game leveling or progression. In some examples, the on-chain cryptographic assets are non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and the on-chain cryptographic assets define in-game attribute data and can include generic digital and visual art. The computer system obtains permission from an interoperability API of a gaming environment/platform to apply a given on-chain cryptographic asset to an in-game asset to modify attribute data of the in-game asset. The computer system applies the given on-chain cryptographic asset and provides an in-game visual indication of the application and modification of attribute data. The in-game visual indication includes a combination of game-specific digital art and the generic digital art of the given on-chain cryptographic asset.
