Abstract
A computer system and method is disclosed including a vault application to facilitate the transacting of game assets represented by tokens managed by a smart contract via a hybrid approach that permits certain transactions of game assets to be conducted using an in-game centralized database approach (which does not necessarily include a decentralized network) and other transactions to be managed on a decentralized network, via a blockchain or other distributed ledger technology (DLT) network.
Claims14
A computerized system for providing a vault application for interfacing between:
- i) a centralized game environment, which has established communication with the vault application, the centralized game environment having a game inventory management system with a user in-game inventory and ii) a decentralized network, the system comprising:
- a memory for storing computer executable modules;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the computer executable modules;
- the computer executable modules comprising:
- the vault application being configured to facilitate the movement of tokens to/from the vault application and to/from one or more crypto wallets configured to transact with one or more decentralized networks, the vault application being configured to:
- store a token corresponding to a game asset on behalf of a user;
- communicate with the game environment to indicate the user's right to the game asset;
- receive a user selection of a request for a game asset to be removed from the user's in-game inventory and designation of a wallet address;
- communicate, to the game environment, a message regarding the request for removal of the selected game asset;
- receive, from the game environment, confirmation of request for removal of the selected game asset from the user's in-game inventory;
- and
- generate a transaction to cause the token corresponding to the selected game asset to be transferred, via a vault smart contract, to the designated wallet address.
