Blockchain NFT Reward Logic for Population-Based Gaming Utilities
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing online gaming platforms lack efficient systems to manage and provide utilities for unique, non-fungible digital assets, such as in-game user-controllable characters, which are not effectively tracked or rewarded based on their blockchain-specific populations.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize decentralized ledgers to record ownership of unique digital assets, determine their population fractions on private permissioned ledgers, and provide rewards based on these fractions, adjusting incentives based on whether the fractions meet or exceed predetermined thresholds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If decentralized ledgers are used to track unique digital assets, then asset ownership transparency and security are improved, but system complexity and implementation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces specialized components including a blockchain interface component that mediates between the gaming platform and decentralized ledgers, a population tracking component that monitors asset distributions, and a reward management component that handles incentive distributions. These intermediary components abstract the complexity of blockchain operations from the core gaming system while maintaining security and transparency benefits.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is divided into distinct functional modules: asset tracking module, population analysis module, reward calculation module, and blockchain integration module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, allowing the complex blockchain integration to be managed through segmented, manageable components that can be implemented and maintained separately.
2Productivity
If population-based reward systems are implemented, then user engagement and asset value are improved, but computational requirements and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary population tracking and fraction calculations continuously in the background, maintaining up-to-date records of asset populations and ownership distributions. When reward events occur, the system can quickly determine eligible users and calculate rewards using pre-computed population data, significantly reducing processing time compared to calculating populations from scratch at reward issuance.
Solution Approach 2:
The population tracking component continuously monitors and updates asset population data, providing real-time feedback to the reward management component. This feedback mechanism allows the system to dynamically adjust reward calculations based on current population states without requiring full recalculation, improving processing efficiency while maintaining accurate engagement-based rewards.

AI summary
Systems and methods to provide utilities based on blockchain-specific populations of unique digital articles in an online gaming platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; manage user accounts, including a first user account having a first account inventory that includes a first unique digital article; receive a first recordation request to record ownership of the first unique digital article on a first decentralized ledger; determine a size of a set or population of unique digital articles that include the first unique digital article; determine a fraction of the set or population of unique digital articles recorded on the first decentralized ledger; receive a first reward request for a first reward; compare the determined fraction with a threshold value; based on the comparison, provide either the first reward or else provide no award or a smaller award.
