  • Publication number: 20250190985
    Abstract: A method of managing digital assets includes instructing creation of a plurality of first cryptographic tokens via a first smart contract registered to a distributed ledger, receiving a request to lock the digital asset at a current evolutionary state; determining the current evolutionary state of the at least one attribute of the digital asset represented by the first tokens; generating, via a second smart contract registered to the distributed ledger, a second cryptographic token; and instructing transfer of the second cryptographic token to the holder. In this, the first smart contract conforms to a first token standard configured for batch minting, the second smart contract conforms to a second token standard configured for unique asset creation, and at least one property of the second cryptographic token is deterministically derived from the current evolutionary state of the digital asset.
