A game provided to users of a game space may include a task to be performed by the users. A plurality of virtual chance items may be composed. Individual ones of the virtual chance items may be configured to be activated by the users in the game space to obtain virtual awards in the game space. The virtual awards may include one or more primary awards and one or more secondary awards. Composing the virtual chance items may include determining probabilities that the individual virtual chance items will provide a primary award and/or a secondary award upon activation. The virtual chance items may be distributed to the users that complete the task responsive to these users completing the task. The virtual awards may be provided to the users in accordance with the probabilities assigned to the virtual chance items in response to the users activating the virtual chance items.

Systems and methods for facilitating transactions of musical stems between users of an online gaming platform and mixing of the musical stems are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: store information regarding tracks; transmit a purchase request regarding a given stem; receive a notification of the assignment of the right to use the given stem, wherein the assignment is recorded on a blockchain; obtain the given stem, generate an arrangement based on one or more stored tracks and the given stem, and playing back the generated arrangement.

Participation by multiple users in an online game through client computing platforms associated with the users is facilitated. User accounts associated with the users indicate affiliations having a functional significance between users. Presentation of offers to sell virtual items are provided to users having a first affiliation and to users having a second affiliation. The virtual items associated with the offers are distributed to the users having a first affiliation upon an indication that a threshold number of users having the first affiliation have accepted the offer and are not distributed to users having a second affiliation upon an indication that a threshold number of users having the second affiliation have not accepted the offer.

Systems and methods for operating a bridge server to support multiple shards of blockchains are disclosed. The multiple shards may be used to record ownership rights of in-game digital assets. The in-game digital assets may be usable in an online gaming platform. Exemplary implementations may: execute an instance of a game; maintain user accounts for the users of a blockchain on a first and a second decentralized ledger server; record sets of rights pertaining to sets of digital assets; receive an exchange request for a first digital asset; receive transferal information for the first digital asset; transfer sets of instructions to the first and second decentralized ledger servers such that the first decentralized ledger server removes the first digital asset from the first set of digital assets and the second decentralized ledger server adds the first digital asset to the second set of digital assets.

A server is configured to detect an option element of an advantage option for an option set player and customize a specification of the advantage option that has been set or to be set in the future, based on the option element thus detected, to increase the attractiveness of the advantage option so that the player will be more motivated to actively acquire the advantage option.

This application discloses an information processing method, apparatus, and device, and relates to the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The method includes displaying a user interface, the user interface comprising a received virtual item packet, and the virtual item packet comprising topic information; displaying the topic information of the virtual item packet; receiving an interaction message corresponding to a second user account, the interaction message being matched with target information to request to receive a virtual item in the virtual item packet, and the target information being the topic information or information associated with the topic information; and receiving the virtual item in the virtual item packet in response to matching the interaction message and the target information.

An approach to facilitating event-based currency is provided. A first virtual currency usable by users of a game space to purchase in-space benefits may be managed. An event in the game space that is conducted during an event time period may be managed such that, during the event time period, an event virtual currency may be distributed to one or more of the users as a reward for certain operations and/or achievements performed in the game space during the event time period. Exchanges of in-space benefits associated with the event virtual currency may be effectuated for one or more of the users. In some implementations, the event virtual currency may not available to the users after the event time period, while the first virtual currency may be available to the users during and after the event time period.

The present disclosure describes techniques for social networking based on collecting asset items. Features may be extracted from an image comprising an object. The object may be associated with a location. One or more pre-stored files may be determined based on the location. The one or more pre-stored files may each correspond to one or more objects proximate to the location. Each of the one or more pre-stored files may comprise data indicative of a corresponding object. The object may be recognized based on comparing the features extracted from the image with data comprised in the one or more pre-stored files. An asset item may be received in response to recognizing the object.

A place designated by a player on a user interface is set according to an operation input. An item or character that the player is to transmit to another information processing apparatus for exchange is designated according to an operation input. In the exchange, information about the place and information about the item or character are transmitted as information about a thing to be exchanged to the another information processing apparatus. Information about the place designated by an exchanging partner and information about the item or character designated by the exchanging partner are received as information about a thing to be exchanged from the another information processing apparatus. The item or character that has been obtained as the thing to be exchanged from the exchanging partner by the exchange, is displayed on the user interface at the place designated by the exchanging partner.

This document contains an invention denoted as a “virtual supply chain.” Its computerized systems and method generate, supply and distribute new assets including virtual rewards for video games and reward applications. Rewards and distribution take place over centralized and or blockchain networks. The “virtual supply chain” can be used to make new things possible using digital assets, such as video gaming as paid work.
