Methods and systems for usage-conditioned access control based on a blockchain wallet
Methods and systems for access control to online resources based on non-fungible token gating. A request from a user device may trigger an access control rule having a token-based condition. The system verifies satisfaction of the token-based condition based on a wallet address provided by the user device and blockchain data obtained from a first blockchain network confirming that a non-fungible token meeting the token-based condition is associated with the wallet address. It then obtains data associated with a second blockchain network based on the non-fungible token and, in response, determines, based on the data associated with the second blockchain network, that the non-fungible token is not exhausted due to previous use of the non-fungible token. The system then processes the request from the user device and causes minting of a token on the second blockchain recording usage of the non-fungible token in an access control operation.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a computing system, a request from a user device, the request being associated with an access control rule having a token-based condition and a type of use condition;
verifying satisfaction of the token-based condition based on a wallet address provided by the user device and blockchain data obtained from a first blockchain network confirming that a non-fungible token meeting the token-based condition is associated with the wallet address;
obtaining data associated with a second blockchain network based on the non-fungible token wherein the data relates to previous uses of the non-fungible token, and, in response,
filtering the data based on the type of use condition to obtain filtered data, and
determining, based on the filtered data associated with the second blockchain network, that the non-fungible token is not exhausted; and
responsive to the determination that the non-fungible token is not exhausted and the verification of satisfaction of the token-based condition, processing, by the computing system, the request from the user device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the second blockchain network includes a token recorded on the second blockchain network.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the token recorded on the second blockchain network is a token recording previous use of the non-fungible token to satisfy the token-based condition of the access control rule in connection with an earlier request.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the request and the earlier request are requests for access to a limited access online resource.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the computing system is an e-commerce system, and wherein the requests for access to a limited access online resource are requests to purchase a product item.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second blockchain network is a layer 2 blockchain related to the first blockchain network.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, after processing the request from the user device, causing minting of a new token on the second blockchain network, wherein the new token includes an identifier of the non-fungible token used to satisfy the access control rule.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the new token further includes the wallet address provided by the user device.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the new token includes metadata identifying a product item associated with the request.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the second blockchain network includes a token recorded on the second blockchain network containing a reference to a mutable payload, and wherein the method further includes accessing the mutable payload and determining that the mutable payload does not record more than a maximum number of uses of the non-fungible token.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the reference points to an interplanetary name system that resolves to the mutable payload on an interplanetary file system, and wherein the mutable payload includes a count of previous uses of the non-fungible token to satisfy the access control rule.
12. A computing system, comprising:
one or more processing units;
one or more data storage units; and
memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processing units, are to cause the processing units to:
receive a request from a user device, the request being associated with an access control rule having a token-based condition and a type of use condition,
verify satisfaction of the token-based condition based on a wallet address provided by the user device and blockchain data obtained from a first blockchain network confirming that a non-fungible token meeting the token-based condition is associated with the wallet address,
obtain data associated with a second blockchain network based on the non-fungible token wherein the data relates to previous uses of the non-fungible token, and, in response,
filter the data based on the type of use condition to obtain filtered data, and
determine, based on the filtered data associated with the second blockchain network, that the non-fungible token is not exhausted, and
responsive to the determination that the non-fungible token is not exhausted and to the verification of satisfaction of the token-based condition, process, by the computing system, the request from the user device.
13. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the data associated with the second blockchain network includes a token recorded on the second blockchain network.
14. The computing system of claim 13 , wherein the token recorded on the second blockchain network is a token recording previous use of the non-fungible token to satisfy the token-based condition of the access control rule in connection with an earlier request.
15. The computing system of claim 14 , wherein the request and the earlier request are requests for access to a limited access online resource.
16. The computing system of claim 15 , wherein the computing system is an e-commerce system, and wherein the requests for access to a limited access online resource are requests to purchase a product item.
17. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processing units, are to cause the processing units to, after processing the request from the user device, cause minting of a new token on the second blockchain network, wherein the new token includes an identifier of the non-fungible token used to satisfy the access control rule.
18. The computing system of claim 17 , wherein the new token further includes the wallet address provided by the user device.
19. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the data associated with the second blockchain network includes a token recorded on the second blockchain network containing a reference to a mutable payload, and wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processing units, are to cause the processing units to access the mutable payload and determine that the mutable payload does not record more than a maximum number of uses of the non-fungible token.
20. A non-transitory computer-readable media storing processor-executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed, are to cause one or more processing units to:
receive a request from a user device, the request being associated with an access control rule having a token-based condition and a type of use condition,
verify satisfaction of the token-based condition based on a wallet address provided by the user device and blockchain data obtained from a first blockchain network confirming that a non-fungible token meeting the token-based condition is associated with the wallet address,
obtain data associated with a second blockchain network based on the non-fungible token wherein the data relates to previous uses of the non-fungible token, and, in response,
filter the data based on the type of use condition to obtain filtered data, and
determine, based on the filtered data associated with the second blockchain network, that the non-fungible token is not exhausted, and
responsive to the determination that the non-fungible token is not exhausted and to the verification of satisfaction of the token-based condition, process, by the computing system, the request from the user device.
