  • Publication number: 20240020683
    Abstract: Methods and systems for multi-point token-based access control to online resources using a single wallet verification. A system, such as an e-commerce platform, receives a wallet address and digital signature from a user device during a user session, and obtains ownership data from a blockchain network with regard to the wallet address. Based on token ownership, the system determines whether the wallet address satisfies a token-based access condition. The system then detects a second access control event at a subsequent phase of the user session and, in response, obtains current ownership data from the blockchain network to determine whether a second token-based condition is satisfied before permitting a requested transaction in the subsequent phase.

  • Publication number: 20240013202
    Abstract: Methods and systems for access control to online resources based on non-fungible token gating. A request from a user device may trigger an access control rule having a token-based condition. The system verifies satisfaction of the token-based condition based on a wallet address provided by the user device and blockchain data obtained from a first blockchain network confirming that a non-fungible token meeting the token-based condition is associated with the wallet address. It then obtains data associated with a second blockchain network based on the non-fungible token and, in response, determines, based on the data associated with the second blockchain network, that the non-fungible token is not exhausted due to previous use of the non-fungible token. The system then processes the request from the user device and causes minting of a token on the second blockchain recording usage of the non-fungible token in an access control operation.

  • Patent number: 10991014
    Abstract: In generating a customized notification on a website, a server receives a request for events from an events database from a browser. Each event includes event parameters for interaction(s) of a user with an instance of the website. The event parameters include a template reference, variable value(s), and a timestamp. The server retrieves an application identifier for the instance of the website from the request, finds events associated with the application identifier, and finds the referenced template. The template includes a message structure with template variables. For each event found, the server parses the event parameters and template variables in the referenced template and replaces the template variables with the variable values in the given event. The server sends an array of event objects to the browser, each including a message with the variable values, a link, and a timestamp.
