Methods and processes for faster and more efficient creation of NFTs while further enhancing the use and transferability of digital assets along with, or in conjunction with, tangible goods and other physical real world assets; methods for securing personal keys that allow for improved security of the physical key while simultaneously providing for transferability of the underlying digital assets; and methods for creation and activation of digital wallets, digital assets, and/or digital asset backed gift cards and the like.

A method includes receiving a protection request for an exchange and generating a metadata object including a plurality of outputting attributes for outputting. The method further includes generating a protected NFT including a link with the metadata object. The protected NFT is encapsulated within a control structure that restricts an output of the metadata object. The method further includes signing the protected NFT using at least one of a first private key or a second public key. The method further includes transmitting the signed protected NFT to the remote device and continuously monitoring the exchange. The method further includes detecting, by the control structure, at least one outputting attribute of the plurality of outputting attributes is satisfied and, in response to detecting the at least one outputting attribute is satisfied, outputting at least a portion of the output.

A system and method for operating a cryptocurrency, including generating, by first computing devices, raw data sets representative of activities performed by respective users while each of the users is using the Internet. A second computing device may determine an aggregate data value of at least a portion of an aggregate of the raw data sets. The at least a portion of the aggregate of the raw data sets being received from the users who contribute that portion of the raw data sets, the contributing users being data contributors. A basis value of a cryptocurrency as a function of the aggregate data value may be established. Total quantity of the cryptocurrency in circulation may be regulated as a function of the aggregate data value.
