Abstract

Claims (38)

1. A client device comprises:

a network interface configured to communicate via a network;

at least one processor;

a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations that include:

receiving, via the network interface and from a non-fungible token (NFT) game platform, display data associated with a customized collection display that presents a plurality of game NFTs, each of the plurality of game NFTs associated with a game that is accessible by a user of the client device, wherein the customized collection display that presents the plurality of game NFTs is configured based on metadata associated with the plurality of game NFTs;

displaying the display data via a graphical user interface and a display device associated with the client device;

receiving, via the processor in response to user interactions with the graphical user interface, a selection of one the plurality of game NFTs for play of the associated game;

sending, to the NFT game platform via the network interface, selection data indicating the selection of the one the plurality of game NFTs; and

facilitating, via the network interface and in conjunction with NFT game platform, play of the associated game when ownership of the game NFT is authenticated.

2. The client device of claim 1 , wherein facilitating the play of the associated game includes receiving, via the network interface, game video associated with the one of the plurality of game NFTs that is streamed from the NFT game platform.

3. The client device of claim 1 , wherein facilitating the play of the associated game includes sending to the NFT game platform, via the network interface, game data associated with the game play of the game by the user that is generated by the client device and wherein the one of the plurality of game NFTs is updated based on the game data.

4. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the customized collection display that presents the plurality of game NFTs is configured in response to user interactions with the graphical user interface.

5. The client device of claim 1 , wherein ownership of the game NFT is authenticated based on the user.

6. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the customized collection display that presents the plurality of game NFTs is configured further based on genres associated with the plurality of game NFTs.

7. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the game NFT associated with the associated game is updated based on the game play of the associated game by the user.

8. The client device of claim 7 , wherein the game NFT associated with the associated game, is updated by minting an updated game NFT.

9. The client device of claim 8 , wherein the updated game NFT is minted on via a parachain that is different from a blockchain that minted the game NFT.

10. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the operations further include:

facilitating, in response to user interactions with the graphical user interface, creation of a derivative NFT corresponding to a game NFT of the plurality of game NFTs, the derivative NFT having expiration restrictions limiting game play of the associated game; and

facilitating, in response to user interactions with the graphical user interface, a micro-loan transaction of the derivative NFT to another user to facilitate the game play of the associated game by the another user, wherein the derivative NFT expires when the expiration restrictions are met.

11. A method for use with a non-fungible token (NFT) platform that includes a processor and a memory, the method comprising:

accessing, via a network interface, a plurality of game NFTs, each of the plurality of game NFTs including a playable instance of an associated game that is accessible by a user of a client device;

generating, via the processor, display data associated with a customized collection display that contains the plurality of game NFTs wherein the customized collection display that presents the plurality of game NFTs is configured based on metadata associated with the plurality of game NFTs;

sending, via the network interface, the display data associated with a customized collection display to the client device for display via a graphical user interface associated with the client device;

receiving, via the graphical user interface, a selection of one the plurality of game NFTs for play of the associated game; and

facilitating, via the network interface and in conjunction with NFT game platform, play of the associated game when the game NFT is authenticated.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein facilitating the play of the associated game includes streaming, via the network interface, game video associated with the one of the plurality of game NFTs to the client device.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein facilitating the play of the associated game includes sending to the NFT game platform, via the network interface, game data associated with the game play of the game by the user that is generated by the client device and wherein the one of the plurality of game NFTs is updated based on the game data.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the customized collection display that presents the plurality of game NFTs is configured in response to user interactions with the graphical user interface.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein ownership of the game NFT is authenticated based on the user.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the customized collection display that presents the plurality of game NFTs is configured further based on genres associated with the plurality of game NFTs.

17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

updating the game NFT based on the game play of the associated game by the user.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the game NFT associated with the associated game, is updated by minting an updated game NFT.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the updated game NFT is minted on via parachain that is different from a blockchain that minted the game NFT.

20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

facilitating creation of a derivative NFT corresponding to a game NFT of the plurality of game NFTs, the derivative NFT having expiration restrictions limiting game play of the associated game; and

facilitating a micro-loan transaction of the derivative NFT to another user to facilitate the game play of the associated game by the another user, wherein the derivative NFT expires when the expiration restrictions are met.
