A system for executing cryptocurrency-based transactions, the system comprising:

• a centralized host server comprising:
• at least one memory device storing computer-readable instructions;
• and
• at least one data processing device operable to execute the computer readable instructions to perform operations including:
• receiving, from a client device by the centralized host server, a request to stream a data file, the data file having one or more contractual restrictions associated therewith;
• and
• transmitting, by the centralized host server to the client device in response to the request, a container comprising:
• (i) a first layer comprising the data file,
• (ii) a second layer comprising programmatic instructions that when executed accesses a cryptocurrency transaction server and executes cryptocurrency transfers thereon, and
• (iii) a third layer comprising packet header data, the packet header data comprising:
• (a) a first header including an intellectual property contract code, the intellectual property contract code comprising a private key associated with an individual intellectual property rights holder, the private key being in the first header, and
• (b) a second header associated with a consumer contract code;
• the client device comprising:
• at least one memory device storing computer-readable instructions;
• and
• at least one data processing device operable to execute the computer-readable instructions to perform operations including:
• executing by the data processing device of the client device, the programmatic instructions in the second layer of the container, wherein the executing comprises:
• retrieving the intellectual property contract code from the first header and the customer contract code from the second header;
• initiating a cryptocurrency transaction by utilizing the retrieved intellectual property contract code and the customer contract code for the requested data file with the cryptocurrency transaction server;
• enforcing the one or more contractual restrictions associated with the at least a portion of data, the one or more contractual restrictions being pursuant to the intellectual property contract code and the consumer contract code;
• and
• playing, at least a portion of the data file from the first layer according to the intellectual property contract code;
• and
• the cryptocurrency transaction server comprising:
• at least one memory device storing computer-readable instructions;
• and
• at least one data processing device operable to execute the computer-readable instructions to perform operations including:
• executing the cryptocurrency transaction, wherein the executing the cryptocurrency transaction comprising:
• identifying an account associated with a user of the client device from the consumer contract code and an account associated with the intellectual property right holder from the intellectual property contract code;
• transferring cryptocurrency from (i) the identified account associated with the user of the client device to (ii) the identified account associated with an intellectual property right holder.
