SYSTEMS AND METHODS GENERATING AND MANAGING NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include pre-minting at least one NFT on a blockchain by a token management service in advance of the token management service receiving a request for the at least one NFT; receiving, by the token management service, the request for the at least one NFT; and providing, by the token management service, the at least one pre-minted NFT in response to the request. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
pre-minting at least one NFT on a blockchain by a token management service in advance of the token management service receiving a request for the at least one NFT;
receiving, by the token management service, the request for the at least one NFT; and
providing, by the token management service, the at least one pre-minted NFT in response to the request.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a number of NFTs to provision in advance of receiving the request,
wherein pre-minting the at least one NFT comprises pre-minting NFTs until a pool of available pre-minted NFTs matches the number of NFTs to provision in advance.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the token management service receives the request from a digital game system.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one pre-minted NFT corresponds to a digital asset provided to a player of a digital game of the digital game system.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the digital asset comprises a game element within the digital game of the digital game system.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the digital game system bases use of the digital asset by the player at least in part on a record of the at least one pre-minted NFT on the blockchain.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein providing, by the token management service, the at least one pre-minted NFT in response to the request comprises providing real-time access by the player to the digital asset within the digital game.
8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein providing, by the token management service, the at least one pre-minted NFT in response to the request comprises providing a real-time ability to trade, via the blockchain and by the player, the digital asset with at least one other player of the digital game.
9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising storing the pre-minted NFT in a wallet corresponding to the player of the digital game.
10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the wallet comprises a custodial wallet managed by an administrator of the digital game system on behalf of the player.
11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:
identifying a vesting event that awards the player ongoing access to the at least one pre-minted NFT; and
in response to identifying the vesting event, assigning the custodial wallet to the player.
12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the vesting event comprises at least one of:
the player registering an account within the digital game system;
the player making a purchase within the digital game system; or
a game event within the digital game.
13 . A system comprising:
at least one physical processor; and
physical memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the physical processor, cause the physical processor to:
pre-mint at least one NFT on a blockchain by a token management service in advance of the token management service receiving a request for the at least one NFT;
receive, by the token management service, the request for the at least one NFT; and
provide, by the token management service, the at least one pre-minted NFT in response to the request.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the physical processor to determine a number of NFTs to provision in advance of receiving the request,
wherein pre-minting the at least one NFT comprises pre-minting NFTs until a pool of available pre-minted NFTs matches the number of NFTs to provision in advance.
15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the token management service receives the request from a digital game system.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one pre-minted NFT corresponds to a digital asset provided to a player of a digital game of the digital game system.
17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the digital asset comprises a game element within the digital game of the digital game system.
18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the digital game system bases use of the digital asset by the player at least in part on a record of the at least one pre-minted NFT on the blockchain.
19 . The system of claim 16 , wherein providing, by the token management service, the at least one pre-minted NFT in response to the request comprises providing real-time access by the player to the digital asset within the digital game.
20 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
pre-mint at least one NFT on a blockchain by a token management service in advance of the token management service receiving a request for the at least one NFT;
receive, by the token management service, the request for the at least one NFT; and
provide, by the token management service, the at least one pre-minted NFT in response to the request.
