Unified digital wallet
11663884 · 2023-05-30 · ·

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.

Systems and methods for selling virtual items on multiple online sales platforms simultaneously are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive a sales request that indicates the selling user will be offering for sale a particular virtual item through at least two online sales platforms simultaneously; assign ownership of the particular virtual item temporarily to a holding account; generate sales listings of the particular virtual item for publications on the at least two online sales platforms; effectuate the publications of the sales listings; receive indications of offers to purchase the particular virtual item; determine an accepted offer that is accepted; notify the at least two online sales platforms of whether the offers have been accepted or denied; identify a buyer's account of the buying user; effectuate assignment of the ownership of the particular virtual item to the buyer's account.

SECURE MULTI-FACTOR TOKENIZATION-BASED SUB-CRYPTOCURRENCY PAYMENT PLATFORM

Example methods, apparatuses, and systems are presented that allows a consumer to conduct a purchase backed by a volatile currency that is not recognized by a merchant as a valid form of payment, such as a cryptocurrency. A third-party payment system is configured to issue a secure, reliable token to replace a reserved amount of volatile currency that represents a reliable amount of currency that is recognized by the merchant as a valid form of payment. The third-party payment platform may issue the reliable amount of currency in the reliable token based on one or more risk factors associated with the volatile currency. After purchase, the third-party payment platform may perform a consumer settlement process at a later time, including performing a cryptocurrency blockchain verification process that typically takes at least several minutes and would be impractical to perform at the point of sale.

The indication comprises a set of verifiable qualifications associated with the second entity, the token comprising a record of a first value associated with the token, a record of at least a set of restrictions associated with the token, and a reference to an executable program. In response to execution of the executable program, committing to one or more records of an electronic ledger in the electronic ledger platform at least one of: the transfer of the token to the second entity in exchange for currency corresponding to the first value, in response to determining that the second entity is qualified for the ownership of the token based on an evaluation of the set of verifiable qualifications and the set of restrictions.

BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTION REBROADCAST

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reliable cryptocurrency rebroadcasting. According to certain embodiments, after an initial transaction broadcast disclosed systems listen to a blockchain to determine if the transaction was included in the blockchain. If, after a short time period, the transaction is not confirmed, a transaction database record for the transaction is locked to prevent inadvertent rebroadcast. While the record is locked, the transaction format and replay information are verified, and depending on the blockchain, is updated. For blockchains having a transaction fee, the system reviews recent transactions to determine appropriate fees and if needed, updates the transaction fee accompanying the transaction. Once the replay information is verified/updated, and the transaction fee is sized appropriately, the database record is unlocked and the transaction is rebroadcasted.
