In one implementation, a computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device and configured to effectuate a trading platform, includes: receiving balance information from a Value Unit Repository (VUR) to maintain a local balance datastore; receiving a matched order concerning a plurality of parties; and confirming that one or more balances defined within the local balance datastore and associated with the plurality of parties are sufficient to execute the matched order.

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device and configured to effectuate a trading platform, includes: enabling agent functionality for a plurality of clients with respect to a first Value Unit Repository (VUR); enabling agent functionality for a plurality of clients with respect to at least a second Value Unit Repository (VUR); and enabling the first Value Unit Repository (VUR) and the at least a second Value Unit Repository (VUR) to communicate.

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device and configured to effectuate a trading platform, includes: enabling agent functionality for a plurality of clients with respect to a first Value Unit Repository (VUR); enabling agent functionality for a plurality of clients with respect to at least a second Value Unit Repository (VUR); and enabling the first Value Unit Repository (VUR) and the at least a second Value Unit Repository (VUR) to effectuate the transfer of bearer financial assets between the first Value Unit Repository (VUR) and the at least a second Value Unit Repository (VUR).

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device and configured to effectuate a trading platform, includes: maintaining a cryptocurrency trading wallet for a client; and maintaining a cryptocurrency transfer wallet for the client; wherein the cryptocurrency trading wallet is configured to enable batch write operations to a distributed ledgering system associated with the cryptocurrency trading wallet.

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device and configured to effectuate a trading platform, includes: maintaining a cryptocurrency transfer wallet for a client that requires adherence to a first-level security protocol; and maintaining a cryptocurrency trading wallet for the client that requires adherence to a second-level security protocol.

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device and configured to effectuate a trading platform, includes: maintaining an omnibus (multi-client) cryptocurrency trading wallet for a plurality of clients; and maintaining a segregated (individual-client) cryptocurrency transfer wallet for each of the plurality of clients, thus defining a plurality of segregated (individual-client) cryptocurrency transfer wallets.

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is executed on a computing device and includes: receiving general collateral assets from a first market participant for a trading platform; storing the general collateral assets within a trading platform account managed by a third party platform and associated with the trading platform; and collateralizing matched orders between the first market participant and the trading platform with the general collateral assets.

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is executed on a computing device and includes: receiving a deallocation notice from a market participant concerning assets within a trading account; initiating an auto-deallocation period; determining if there is outstanding trade activity within the trading account during the auto-deallocation period; and if there is no outstanding trade activity within the trading account during the auto-deallocation period, transferring at least a portion of the assets within the trading account to the market participant.

A method for authenticating a transaction that requires the use of a personal identification number (PIN) is provided. The method includes obtaining chip information from a chip that is embedded in a card; receiving a user input that includes the PIN; combining the PIN with the chip information; performing a message authentication code (MAC) operation on the combination in order to generate an application request cryptogram (ARQC); and requesting an authentication of the transaction based on the generated ARQC.

A unified wallet manager (UWM) virtualized as a single virtual service in which all transactions relative to the UWM are treated as immutable facts permanently stored in append-only queues or ledgers from the time of their creation. A rules engine reads conversion requests in request calls to the service, and determines which rule or rules to apply to convert funds from one ledger to another, in the same or different vertically scaled gaming systems. The UWM is a peer of other vertical gaming systems, and the gaming systems access the UWM via an API server and data egresses from the UWM through an ETL process from a database cluster. The immutable queues allow for data reconstruction using any desired data model. The ledger stores funds of many different types, including real money, points, play money, and others. Third parties can integrate with the UWM through an integration hub connected to the UWM.
