• receiving, from the computing device, a unique owner identification (ID) code associated with the user;
• receiving, from the computing device, a unique code acquired by the user;
• determining a unique digital asset ID code corresponding to the received unique code, the unique digital asset ID code representative of the cryptographically secured digital asset;
• and
• transmitting a cryptographic block to a distributed blockchain ledger to record transfer of the cryptographically secured digital asset to the user, the cryptographic block comprising both the unique digital asset ID code and the unique owner ID code;
• wherein determining the unique digital asset ID code comprises:
• directing an application or an internet browser running on the computing device to a virtual storefront display comprising a plurality of different displayed cryptographically secured digital assets;
• receiving an indication of a selection of one of the plurality of different displayed cryptographically secured digital assets;
• and
