The patent filed is for a gaming system using blockchain and nfts
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230241514A1) describes a computing system that associates a game session with a non-fungible token (NFT). The game session is executed via a gaming device in a gaming environment, and the NFT allows for the recreation of the game session on either a local device within the gaming environment or a remote device in a different environment. The NFT is provided to a player associated with the gaming environment, and data descriptive of the game session, NFT, gaming device, gaming environment, or player is recorded on a blockchain.
The patent also includes the operation of associating the NFT with an outcome resulting from the execution of the game session. The game session can involve gameplay of a game executed on the gaming device, and the NFT can be associated with outcomes resulting from the gameplay. The gaming device can be a physical gaming device, a metaverse gaming device, an electronic gaming device, or a computer-based gaming device. Similarly, the gaming environment can be a physical gaming environment, a metaverse gaming environment, or a computer-based gaming environment.
The patent further describes a computer-implemented method that performs a blockchain mining process associated with a gaming environment while executing a game. The system tracks game participation metrics for a player participating in the game and provides the player with a defined percentage of a token based on these metrics. This incentivizes player participation and rewards them based on their level of engagement in the game.
Overall, the patent outlines a computing system and method that leverages NFTs, blockchain technology, and game participation metrics to enhance the gaming experience. By associating game sessions with NFTs and recording data on a blockchain, players can recreate and preserve their gaming experiences. Additionally, the use of blockchain mining and token rewards incentivizes player engagement and provides a tangible benefit for active participation in the game.
