  • Publication number: 20250117795
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interaction-based token generation are disclosed. In some examples, a system receives an indication of an interaction between a user device and an interactive element. The interaction involves receipt of data at the user device through the interaction. The system determines, based on context data and based on the user device storing the data in response to the interaction, that a predetermined condition is met. The system causes, in response to the predetermined condition being met, a digital object to be automatically generated using a distributed ledger. The system associates the digital object with the user device.

  • Publication number: 20250053975
    Abstract: A blockchain agnostic token network is described. In an example, a request to purchase a non-fungible token (NFT) minted on a blockchain from a seller is received relative to a listing that offers the NFT for sale via a timed auction. In response to determining that the request to purchase the NFT satisfies one or more purchase conditions, the NFT is issued to user account that requested to purchase the NFT. As part of issuing the NFT, the NFT is recorded on a blockchain, such as a blockchain selected by a seller of the NFT or a blockchain selected by the user account to which the NFT is issued.

  • Patent number: 12211042
    Abstract: A blockchain agnostic token network is described. In an example, a request to purchase a non-fungible token (NFT) minted on a blockchain from a seller is received. Based at least in part on context data associated with at least one of the user, the seller, or a digital asset associated with the NFT, a plurality of available blockchains is determined for holding the NFT. Information associated with the plurality of blockchains is surfaced and one of the plurality of blockchains is determined for holding the NFT. Based at least in part on the determined blockchain, the NFT is transferred to the determined blockchain and associated with a user account for subsequent viewing.

  • Patent number: 11935024
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generation and aggregation of point-of-sale account data and generation of a marketplace platform are disclosed. Transaction information may be utilized to value one or more businesses, and those valuations may be presented to potential buyers in a generated marketplace platform. A remote system may facilitate a sales agreement between a buying merchant and a seller merchant by, for example, transferring funds from a remote system account to the selling merchant's account and accepting repayment from the buying merchant over time. Merging of transaction information and/or user accounts pursuant to the sales agreement may also be performed.
