  • Publication number: 20220366486
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing media, such as digital content, using blockchain technology are described. For example, the systems and methods can facilitate the storage of documents, such as legal documents, along with associated tokens (e.g., non-fungible tokens or NFTs) to a blockchain or similar platform, such as the Ethereum decentralized platform. Further, the systems and methods access digital wallet information or contents and provide digital content to users, such as during auctions or within online marketplaces, when the digital wallet information indicates certain contents or tokens.

  • Publication number: 20160321675
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing media, such as digital content, using block chain technology are described. In some example embodiments, the systems and methods register a digital content item to a content management system using an authentication module that authenticates a digital content item as an authentic content item and a transaction module that performs a block chain transaction to register the authentic content item to the content management system. The authentication module may perform a multiple operation authentication process for the digital content item, and determine a trust value calculated from the performed multiple operation authentication processes satisfies a threshold value associated with authenticating the digital content item as authentic.
