Non-fungible token with adaptable digital files

Abstract

Adaptation/alteration of the digital file referenced to an underlying Non-Fungible Token (NFT). Adaptation/alteration of the digital file occurs via NFT metadata-defined adaptation rules and criteria, i.e., predefined conditions or events that trigger the occurrence of digital file adaptation. The adapted digital file may be presented to users to indicate a change in a state associated with a specific type of NFT. For example, the NFT may be an authentication NFT used to verify the identity of a user/users and the digital file may be presented within computing networks or applications as a means of conveying user authenticity to other users within the computing network or application. The predefined conditions are security events that have a positive/negative impact on the authenticity of the user or group of users. Occurrence of one or more of the predefined security events triggers adaptation and presentation of the adapted digital file which provides an indication of an increase/decrease in the level of authenticity associated with the user/users.
