  • Publication number: 20240013195
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for systems and methods for generating blockchain tokens as tokenized versions of live assets stored in a vault. A server verifies live assets and mints vault-backed title NFTs to blockchain wallets. The server executes software (e.g., dApp; smart contract) for minting a vault-backed title NFT as UDA token corresponding one-to-one with the live asset, or optionally as a set of COA tokens, including the title NFT and a set of fungible access tokens having a subset of privileges or rights derived from the title token. The server hosts an online marketplace where users may purchase or sell the asset tokens (e.g., title NFTs or the access tokens), or may submit redemption requests for triggering or accessing privileges afforded by the asset tokens or redeeming (“unchaining”) the live assets.

  • Publication number: 20230222310
    Abstract: A method of uniquely identifying a previously unknown object includes generating a media record of an unveiling of the previously unknown object to become an identified object with a known identity, generating a unique identifier of the identified object, associating the unique identifier of the identified object with the identified object itself, and associating the media record of the unveiling of the unveiled object with the unique identifier. Further methods of verifying genuineness of collectors' items includes generating a unique identifier, associating the unique identifier with a unique item at a time in which the unique item is unpackaged during a video recording, associating the unique identifier with additional information about the time at which the unique item is unpackaged, printing the unique identifier on a sticker, and adhering the sticker with the unique identifier to a portion of the item.
