CLIENT DEVICE FOR GENERATING NFTS IN RESPONSE TO IN-APP ISSUANCE REQUESTS AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH
An NFT system operates by receiving an application launch request for a game application having a game non-fungible token (NFT) associated therewith; generating, via the game application and in response to the application launch request, launch metadata; sending the launch metadata to an NFT wallet, the NFT wallet containing a private key associated with the game NFT; receiving, from the NFT wallet, a launch response that is generated based on the private key; generating, via the game application and based on the launch response, an ownership check; sending the ownership check to a blockchain system that stores the game NFT; receiving, from the blockchain system, an ownership validation response; and enabling, via the game application, play of the game when the ownership validation response indicates ownership of the game NFT is verified.
1 . A method for use with a client device that includes a processor and a memory, the method comprising:
receiving, at the client device and from a game application associated with an electronic game played by a user of the client device, an in-app issuance request for an in-app NFT;
generating, via the client device, an ownership check;
sending the ownership check to a blockchain system that stores a game NFT associated with the electronic game and the user;
receiving, from the blockchain system, an ownership validation response that indicates whether user's ownership of the game NFT is verified; and
facilitating, via the game application, a minting of the in-app NFT when the ownership validation response indicates the user's ownership of the game NFT is verified.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a payment request in response to the in-app issuance request; and
receiving a payment response verifying the in-app issuance request;
wherein the ownership check is generated in response to the payment response.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the in-app NFT has in-app NFT metadata associated therewith, wherein the in-app NFT metadata includes achievement data associated with the electronic game and the user.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the in-app NFT has in-app NFT metadata associated therewith, wherein the in-app NFT metadata an application identifier associated with the electronic game.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the in-app NFT has in-app NFT metadata associated therewith, wherein the in-app NFT metadata includes a user identifier associated with the user.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the in-app NFT has in-app NFT metadata associated therewith, wherein the in-app NFT metadata includes an instance identifier indicating an instance of the electronic game associated with the user.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
preventing, via the game application, the minting of the in-app NFT when the ownership validation response indicates the user's ownership of the game NFT is not verified.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the game application is configured to determine if the user's play of the electronic game is permitted based on ownership of the game NFT.
9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a payment request in response to the in-app issuance request; and
preventing, via the game application, the minting of the in-app NFT when the payment request is denied.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the in-app issuance request is generated automatically by the gaming application.
11 . 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, at the client device and from a game application associated with an electronic game played by a user of the client device, an in-app issuance request for an in-app NFT;
generating, via the client device, an ownership check;
sending the ownership check to a blockchain system that stores a game NFT associated with the electronic game and the user;
receiving, from the blockchain system, an ownership validation response that indicates whether user's ownership of the game NFT is verified; and
facilitating, via the game application, a minting of the in-app NFT when the ownership validation response indicates the user's ownership of the game NFT is verified.
12 . The client device of claim 11 , wherein the operations further include:
generating a payment request in response to the in-app issuance request; and
receiving a payment response verifying the in-app issuance request;
wherein the ownership check is generated in response to the payment response.
13 . The client device of claim 11 , wherein the in-app NFT has in-app NFT metadata associated therewith, wherein the in-app NFT metadata includes achievement data associated with the electronic game and the user.
14 . The client device of claim 11 , wherein the in-app NFT has in-app NFT metadata associated therewith, wherein the in-app NFT metadata an application identifier associated with the electronic game.
15 . The client device of claim 11 , wherein the in-app NFT has in-app NFT metadata associated therewith, wherein the in-app NFT metadata includes a user identifier associated with the user.
16 . The client device of claim 11 , wherein the in-app NFT has in-app NFT metadata associated therewith, wherein the in-app NFT metadata includes an instance identifier indicating an instance of the electronic game associated with the user.
17 . The client device of claim 11 , wherein the operations further include:
preventing, via the game application, the minting of the in-app NFT when the ownership validation response indicates the user's ownership of the game NFT is not verified.
18 . The client device of claim 11 , wherein the game application is configured to determine if the user's play of the electronic game is permitted based on ownership of the game NFT.
19 . The client device of claim 11 , wherein the operations further include:
generating a payment request in response to the in-app issuance request; and
preventing, via the game application, the minting of the in-app NFT when the payment request is denied.
20 . The client device of claim 11 , wherein the in-app issuance request is generated automatically by the gaming application.
