  • Patent number: 12380432
    Abstract: Token minting environment includes a physical token minter that is accessible to a group of users. A user initiates a session to mint a non-fungible token associated with an image that the physical token minter generates. When the session is established, the physical token minter connects with a digital wallet associated with the user. The physical token minter identifies a physical interaction provided by the user, such as the user pulling a lever or pressing an input button that is proximate to the physical token minter. Upon identifying the user interaction, the physical token minter responds by triggering the creation of an image and the minting of a non-fungible token that links the image to the wallet of the user. The physical token minter then provides a digital representation of the image and an indication that a token for the image has been added to the digital wallet.
