Abstract

A non-fungible token (NFT) platform operates by: receiving image data to be associated with a player token NFT corresponding to a multiplayer game; receiving other data, wherein the other data includes player attribute data to be associated with the player token NFT; and facilitating creation of the player token NFT, based on the image data and the player attribute data.

Claims (43)

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

receiving, via the processor, image data to be associated with a player token NFT corresponding to a multiplayer game;

receiving, via the processor, other data, wherein the other data includes player attribute data to be associated with the player token NFT; and

facilitating creation of the player token NFT, based on the image data and the player attribute data; and facilitating play of the multiplayer game based on the player token NFT.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, via the processor, further data, wherein the further data includes player health data to be associated with the player token NFT;

wherein facilitating creation of the player token NFT is further based on the player health data.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

facilitating, via the processor, game play of the multiplayer game based on the player token NFT associated with the multiplayer game.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving a player health data update responsive to the game play; and

updating the player token NFT, based on the player health data update.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the player health data update indicates a disabling wound, and wherein the player token NFT is updated based on the player health data update to indicate the disabling wound.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the player token NFT is updated based on the player health data update to indicate the disabling wound, based on imagery associated with the player health data update.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the imagery associated with the player health data update includes player imagery of the disabling wound.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the player token NFT is updated with the player imagery of the disabling wound.

9. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

expiring the player token NFT, when the updated player health data indicates an expiration of player health.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

prohibiting further game play of the multiplayer game utilizing the player token NFT, when the updated player health data indicates the expiration of player health.

11. A system comprises:

a network interface configured to communicate via a network;

a processor;

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

receiving, via the processor, image data to be associated with a player token NFT corresponding to a multiplayer game;

receiving, via the processor, other data, wherein the other data includes player attribute data to be associated with the player token NFT; and

facilitating creation of the player token NFT, based on the image data and the player attribute data; and facilitating play of the multiplayer game based on the player token NFT.

12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, via the processor, further data, wherein the further data includes player health data to be associated with the player token NFT;

wherein facilitating creation of the player token NFT is further based on the player health data.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the player token NFT is updated based on the player health data update to indicate the disabling wound, based on imagery associated with the player health data update.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the imagery associated with the player health data update includes player imagery of the disabling wound.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the player token NFT is updated with the player imagery of the disabling wound.
