In embodiments of the present invention, systems are provided for handling secure digital tokens, each of which uniquely represents a respective item, including an interface configured to handle a unique identifier for a unique unit of an item, a cryptographic token generation system that generates a unique digital token that has a set of digital attributes that correspond to the set of item attributes, a cryptographic linking system configured to generate a cryptographically secure, one-to-at-least-one link between the unique digital token generated by the cryptographic token generation system and the unique identifier for the unique unit of the item, and a redemption system configured to process a redemption instruction for unique digital token that uniquely tokenizes an item, where upon receipt of a redemption instruction the system automatically initiates a process for delivery of an item to a party redeeming unique digital token that uniquely tokenizes the item.

In embodiments of the present invention, methods are provided for receiving a request to securitize an asset of a user, including information, a photograph, and a holding location of the asset. A virtual representation of the asset may be generated based on the one or more photographs, the item information, and the hold location, and a virtual representation of the item created. Ownership of the digital token may be assigned to the user, who receives an agreement to provide a service for the user by a provider using the asset as collateral. A smart contract governing the service may be generated, the instance of the smart contract indicating an amount to be provided by the user to the provider and one or more conditions that cause ownership of the digital token to be transferred to the provider, and the instance of the smart contract deployed.

In embodiments, a system for tokenizing tokens is disclosed. The system includes an interface that handles an identifier for a first token generates using a first protocol and a token generation system that generates a second token using a second protocol, the second token representing a defined quantity of the cryptocurrency represented by the first token. The system includes a linking system configured to generate a one-to-at-least-one link between the second token generated by the cryptographic token generation system and the first token, such that the second token provides a unique tokenization of the first token. The system includes a ledger update system that writes the second token to a cryptographic ledger in accordance with the second protocol. The system also includes a wallet-less token transfer system that facilitates exchange of the cryptocurrency between a first user and a second user without use of a digital wallet.

In embodiments of the present invention, systems are provided for tracking a set of secure digital tokens, each of which uniquely represents an item, including an interface configured to handle a set of unique identifiers, a cryptographic token generation system that generates a set of unique digital tokens, each of the set of unique digital tokens including a set of digital attributes that correspond to the set of item attributes, a cryptographic linking system configured to generate a cryptographically secure, one-to-at-least-one link between the unique digital token generated by the cryptographic token generation system and the unique identifier for the unique unit of the item, and an escrow system configured to handle the items that are represented by the set of unique digital tokens pending redemption of a respective one or more unique digital tokens from the set of unique digital tokens.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, systems are provided for generating digital tokens that uniquely represent digital products is disclosed. The system may include an interface configured to handle a unique identifier for a unique unit of a digital product having a set of attributes. In embodiments, the system includes a cryptographic token generation system that generates a unique digital token that has a set of token attributes that correspond to the set of digital-product attributes, wherein the unique digital token is cryptographically secure. In embodiments, the system also includes a linking system that generates a one-to-at-least-one link between the unique digital token generated by the cryptographic token generation system and the unique identifier for the unique unit of the digital product, such that the unique digital token provides a unique digital representation of the unique unit of the digital product.

In embodiments of the present invention, systems are provided for a management system that receives a set of item attributes of an item offered for sale and generates a virtual representation of the item based on the item attributes. In embodiments, a ledger management system may generate a digital token corresponding to the item and cryptographically link the token to the virtual representation. In embodiments, a buyer marketplace system provides a digital marketplace whereby users view virtual representations of items, transact for items, validate and redeem a digital token, and burn the digital token such that the digital token is no longer redeemable or transferrable.

In embodiments of the present invention, methods are provided for receiving a notification of a transfer of funds to a user account of a user, the funds being in a first currency and a tokenization platform facilitating trade in a second currency defined in accordance with a protocol. A processing system may receive a request to generate a tokenized token representing a portion of the funds and generate a tokenized token representing the portion of the funds, wherein the tokenized token is a non-fungible token defined in accordance with the protocol. The processing system may initiate a hold of the portion of the funds, wherein the portion of the funds are inaccessible to an owner of the tokenized token until the tokenized token is redeemed by the owner of the tokenized token, and a cryptographic ledger may be updated to indicate that the tokenized token is owned by the user.

In embodiments of the present invention, methods are provided for receiving a photograph of, and information relating to, an item, and generating a virtual representation of the item. The item may be authenticated by making an authentication request via a portal to subject-matter authentication experts, wherein the portal displays the virtual representation of the item in the portal. An authentication report may be received from the experts, and a non-fungible digital token having a unique token identifier may be generated. The non-fungible token may be cryptographically linked to the virtual representation of the item on a cryptographic ledger and ownership data of the non-fungible token associated with an account of an owner of the item on the cryptographic ledger.

In embodiments of the present invention, methods are provided for maintaining a plurality of public addresses, and a plurality of virtual representations of a plurality of respective items. For each virtual representation, a set of digital tokens may respectively correspond to an item represented by the virtual representation, and each digital token may be cryptographically linked with the corresponding virtual representation. Owners of a token may request redemption of the digital token and have ownership information and fulfillment details verified. Fulfillment details may be provided to a fulfillment system that satisfies transactions for items.

In embodiments of the disclosure a method is disclosed for exchanging digital tokens from a message-based application is disclosed. The method includes displaying, by a digital wallet GUI, an inventory of tokens that are owned by a user. Each token is linked to a virtual representation of an item and redeemable for an instance of the item. The method also includes receiving an instruction to transfer a digital token from the inventory of tokens to a recipient and displaying a keyboard that includes a selectable media content that represents the item linked to the token. The method also includes receiving a selection of the media content and embedding a token identifier of the token in a text-based message that is sent to the recipient, such that the recipient can select the selectable media content to accept to the digital token into a respective digital wallet of the recipient.
