Abstract: A computer-implemented method for listing a physical object on a marketplace is provided. The method includes receiving an identifier associated with the physical object to be listed, wherein the identifier is obtained by scanning the physical object. The method includes transmitting a validation request message comprising the identifier. The method includes receiving a validation response message, wherein the validation response message includes an indication of whether the physical object is authentic. The method includes, if the physical object is indicated as being authentic: obtaining first descriptive information associated with the physical object; and generating a listing for the physical object on the marketplace based on the first descriptive information. The method includes, if the physical object is indicated as not being authentic, not generating a listing for the physical object on the marketplace.

Abstract: A physical asset corresponding to a digital asset is provided. The physical asset includes one or more components manufactured in accordance with one or more parameters for customizing the physical asset based on information associated with the digital asset. The physical asset also includes a tag associated with the physical asset, wherein the tag includes information comprising a uniform resource locater (URL) and encrypted information, wherein the encrypted information corresponds to a cryptographic token on a distributed ledger and information about the physical asset.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for purchasing a digital asset in a digital environment by a user. The method includes transmitting a first request towards a first computing platform to purchase a digital asset, wherein the digital asset is associated with a plurality of digital files and each digital file of the plurality of digital files includes a digital representation of the digital asset in a respective file format for rendering the digital asset in a respective computing environment. The method includes receiving cryptographic information in a digital wallet associated with the user, wherein the cryptographic information links the wallet with the cryptographic token representing the digital asset, the cryptographic token including metadata relating to a location of the plurality of digital files associated with the digital asset. The method includes generating a request to render a display of the digital asset in the respective computing environment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for authenticating a physical asset is provided. The method includes obtaining information from a tag associated with the physical asset, wherein the information includes a uniform resource locater (URL) and encrypted information, wherein the encrypted information corresponds to a cryptographic token on a distributed ledger and information about the physical asset. The method further includes transmitting a first message towards an authentication server based on the URL, wherein the first message comprises the encrypted information. The method further includes receiving a second message from the authentication server, the second message comprising an indication of authenticity of the physical asset.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for claiming a digital asset linked with a physical object. The method includes receiving, from a computing device, an identifier identifying the physical object. The identifier is obtained by the computing device scanning the physical object. The method includes identifying the digital asset associated with the physical object. The method includes determining whether a wallet identifier associated with a wallet that owns the digital asset matches an initial wallet identifier. The initial wallet identifier is associated with minting the digital asset.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for transferring rights to a physical object with a digital asset. The method includes obtaining a wallet identifier associated with a seller of the physical object. The method includes receiving, from a computing device, an identifier associated with the physical object. The identifier is obtained by the computing device scanning the physical object. The method includes determining a wallet associated with the wallet identifier that owns the digital asset linked to the physical object. The method includes determining the physical object is authentic. The method includes transferring one or more rights to the physical object and the digital asset to a buyer.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for granting access. The method including receiving, from a computing device, an identifier identifying a physical object. The identifier is obtained by the computing device scanning a physical object and the physical object is linked to a digital asset. The method including receiving an encrypted message, wherein the encrypted message comprises an encrypted token. The method including determining the encrypted token satisfies a condition. The method including as a result of determining the condition is satisfied, transmitting an unencrypted public key of a wallet and the identifier to an application to use for granting access. Access is granted depending on whether the wallet owns the digital asset linked to the physical object.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a digital asset for purchase by a user is provided. The method includes generating a digital asset comprising a plurality of digital files, wherein each digital file of the plurality of digital files includes a digital representation of the digital asset in a respective file format for rendering the digital asset in a respective computing environment. The method further includes recording information related to the digital asset as a cryptographic token on a decentralized distributed ledger, said information including at least a cryptographic hash representing the digital asset, ownership information associated with the digital asset, and metadata identifying the location of the plurality of digital files associated with the digital asset. The method further includes receiving a request to purchase the digital asset comprising transaction information identifying the cryptographic token and a digital wallet associated with the user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for redeeming a digital asset for a physical asset is provided. The method includes receiving a first request to redeem a physical asset corresponding to a digital asset, wherein the first request comprises an indication of a cryptographic token on a distributed ledger corresponding to the digital asset. The method further includes validating the request. The method further includes updating the cryptographic token on the distributed ledger to include information regarding the physical asset.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for authenticating a physical asset is provided. The method includes obtaining information from a tag associated with the physical asset, wherein the information includes a uniform resource locater (URL) and encrypted information, wherein the encrypted information corresponds to a cryptographic token on a distributed ledger and information about the physical asset. The method further includes transmitting a first message towards an authentication server based on the URL, wherein the first message comprises the encrypted information. The method further includes receiving a second message from the authentication server, the second message comprising an indication of authenticity of the physical asset.
