A method of event-based distribution of a cryptographically secured digital asset includes receiving, from a computing device associated with a user, an indication that the computing device is located at a predetermined venue within a predetermined window of time, receiving an indication that a conditional triggering event has occurred during the predetermined window of time, receiving, from the computing device, a unique owner identification (ID) code associated with the user, and transmitting a request to record a transfer of the cryptographically secured digital asset to the user on a distributed blockchain ledger. The request comprises both a unique digital asset ID code and the unique owner ID code, and transmitting the request to record the transfer of the cryptographically secured digital asset on the distributed blockchain ledger occurs only after the indication is received that the conditional event has occurred.

Event-based distribution of cryptographically secured digital assets

A method of distributing a real-life product version of a cryptographic digital asset includes modifying an attribute of the cryptographic digital asset based on a received input, the cryptographic digital asset being registered on a distributed blockchain ledger and including a plurality of attributes with at least one of the plurality of attributes being an attribute that is capable of modification. The modification being operative to transition the cryptographic digital asset through one or more stages of evolution. The method further includes unlocking the real-life product version of the cryptographic digital asset upon reaching a specific stage of evolution, and providing the user with the ability to purchase the unlocked real-life product version.

System and method for providing cryptographically secured digital assets

A method of integrating a cryptographic digital asset into a digital software application, includes receiving a digital asset identification (ID) code, the digital asset ID code existing together with a unique owner ID code on a distributed blockchain ledger. The digital asset ID code represents the cryptographic digital asset, and the cryptographic digital asset comprises a plurality of attributes. A virtual object is then represented on the display via the digital software application. The virtual object has an appearance that is based on the plurality of attributes of the cryptographic digital asset, and the virtual object includes a plurality of object attributes. The method further includes modifying at least one of the object attributes according to an aspect of the digital software application or interaction between the character avatar and the virtual object and representing a modified virtual object on the display via the digital software application.

Video game integration of cryptographically secured digital assets

A method of provisioning or distributing a cryptographic digital asset and supervising a secondary transfer of the digital asset includes receiving a transaction confirmation indicative of a completed transaction of a product from a first party to a second party; determining or receiving a unique owner identification (ID) code or wallet address of the second party; recording or transmitting a request to record ownership of the cryptographic digital asset to the unique owner identification (ID) code or wallet address of the second party; receiving a request to transfer the cryptographic digital asset to a second unique owner identification (ID) code or second wallet address; and recording or transmitting a request to record ownership of the cryptographic digital asset to the second unique owner identification (ID) code or second wallet address.

A method of integrating a cryptographic digital asset into a digital software application includes receiving a digital asset identification (ID) code, the digital asset ID code existing together with a unique owner ID code on a distributed blockchain ledger, the digital asset ID code including a code string segmented into a series of code subsets, wherein a first plurality of the code subsets includes data indicative of a plurality of attributes of the digital asset. The cryptographic digital asset is then represented on a display, wherein the cryptographic digital asset comprises a virtual object having an appearance based on the first plurality of code subsets, the virtual object further includes a plurality of object attributes. At least one of the object attributes is modified according to an aspect of the digital software application or interaction between a character avatar and the virtual object.

A method of integrating a cryptographically secured digital asset into a digital video game application includes receiving a digital asset identification (ID) code representative of cryptographically secure digital asset. The digital asset ID code exists together with a unique owner ID code on a distributed blockchain ledger, and includes a code string segmented into a series of code subsets. A first plurality of the code subsets includes data indicative of a plurality of attributes of the digital asset. The digital asset ID code is provided to a virtual object generator, which returns a virtual object constructed from the first plurality of the code subsets of the unique owner ID code, and where the virtual object further including a plurality of object attributes. At least one of the character attributes is then modified according to at least one of the object attributes.

A method of event-based distribution of a cryptographic digital asset includes receiving, from a computing device associated with a user, an indication that the computing device is located at a predetermined venue within a predetermined window of time; receiving a unique owner identification (ID) code associated with the user; receiving a unique code acquired by the user; determining a unique digital asset ID code corresponding to the received unique code, the unique digital asset ID code being representative of the cryptographic digital asset; and transmitting a cryptographic block to a distributed blockchain ledger to record transfer of the cryptographic digital asset to the user, the cryptographic block comprising both the unique digital asset ID code and the unique owner ID code.

Presented are cryptographic digital assets for articles of footwear, methods for making/using such cryptographic digital assets, and decentralized computing systems with blockchain control logic for mining, intermingling, and exchanging blockchain-enabled digital shoes. A method of provisioning the digital assets includes receiving a transaction confirmation indicative of a completed transaction of an article of footwear or a digital file representative thereof from a first party to a second party, and transmitting a cryptographic block to a distributed blockchain ledger to record transfer of the cryptographic digital asset to the second party.

Presented are cryptographic digital assets for articles of footwear, methods for making/using such cryptographic digital assets, and decentralized computing systems with blockchain control logic for mining, intermingling, and exchanging blockchain-enabled digital shoes. A method of generating cryptographic digital assets for footwear includes a middleware server computer receiving, over a distributed computing network from a remote computing node, confirmation of a validated transfer of footwear from one party to another. The middleware server computer determines, from an encrypted relational database, a unique owner ID code of the transferee party, and generates a cryptographic digital asset for the footwear. This cryptographic digital asset includes a digital shoe and a unique digital shoe ID code. The middleware server computer links the cryptographic digital asset with the unique owner ID code, and records the unique digital shoe ID code and the unique owner ID code on a transaction block with a distributed blockchain ledger.
