Abstract: Systems and methods for tokenizing real-world items for use in digital commerce are disclosed. In some embodiments, a digital token transaction system configures a set of attributes for a set of digital tokens that are cryptographically linked to a set of virtual representations of a set of items. The set of attributes includes at least one temporal attribute that defines a time after which redemption rights of the set of tokens for the items expire.

Abstract: A method for facilitating transactions using a cryptographic ledger is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request to tokenize a defined amount of currency on behalf of an entity. The method includes verifying that the amount of currency has been locked in an off-chain account such that the entity is unable to transfer the defined amount of currency from the account and generating a cryptographic token in accordance with the tokenization protocol that represents the defined amount of currency. The method includes associating the cryptographic token with a first ledger account of the entity such that the entity can transfer the token via the cryptographic ledger while the defined amount of currency remains locked. The method includes receiving a redemption request from a second account of a redeeming entity, burning the cryptographic token, and initiating transfer of the defined amount of currency to an off-chain account of the redeeming entity.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods for authenticating items in part of a tokenization workflow. In embodiments, the method includes receiving a photograph of, and information relating to, an item, and generating a virtual representation of the item. The item may be authenticated by making an authentication request via a portal to subject-matter authentication experts, wherein the portal displays the virtual representation of the item in the portal. An authentication report may be received from the experts, and a non-fungible digital token having a unique token identifier may be generated. The non-fungible token may be cryptographically linked to the virtual representation of the item on a cryptographic ledger and ownership data of the non-fungible token is updated to associate an account of an owner of the item with the digital token on the cryptographic ledger.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention, methods are provided for receiving a request to collateralize a collateral item of a user seeking a loan, along with information and a photograph of the collateral item. A processing system may generate a virtual representation of the collateral item based on the information and photograph and generate a digital token based on the virtual representation. Ownership of the digital token may be assigned to the user seeking the loan and an instance of a smart contract governing the loan may be generated and deployed, the instance of the smart contract indicating an amount to be paid back by the user to the lender and one or more conditions that cause ownership of the digital token to be transferred to the lender.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for facilitating interoperability between blockchain networks to facilitate bridging of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) across chains. In embodiments, a method includes receiving a bridging request at a first bridge smart contract to transfer a source NFT from a first blockchain to a second blockchain. Upon verification, the first bridge smart contract locks the source NFT. An oracle server determines whether a clone NFT associated with the source NFT exists on the second blockchain. If so, the oracle instructs a second bridge smart contract to unlock the clone NFT. If no clone NFT exists, the oracle instructs minting of the clone NFT and assigning ownership of the clone NFT to the user's account on the second blockchain. The clone NFT remains controllable by the user while the source NFT stays locked on the first blockchain, maintaining a one-to-one relationship between the tokens across chains.
