Abstract
An NFT processing server may cooperate with a first device to communicate a notification of a digital promotion having an acceptance rule set associated therewith. A tethered non-fungible token (tNFT) representative of the promotion may be generated and stored on a blockchain network. The tNFT may have an immutable attribute including a reference to the rule set, and a mutable attribute indicative of rule set acceptance. A first shopper may be prompted for rule set acceptance, and, thereupon, the server may set the mutable attribute to be indicative of the acceptance, permit transfer of the digital promotion to a second device, and transfer the promotion on the blockchain network to the second device by transferring the tNFT to a digital wallet. The server may also prompt a second shopper for acceptance of the rule set, and thereupon, set the mutable attribute to be indicative of the acceptance.
