## Abstract

Systems and methods to combine permanent registry information and in-game activity information to determine release logistics, based on information recorded on permanent registries, are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; manage player accounts associated with the players; monitor a first set of in-game action instructions for a first set of in-game actions by the players; determine values for in-game action metrics based on the monitored first set of in-game action instructions; monitor recorded information on one or more permanent registries; determine values for registry metrics based on the monitored recorded information; determine one or more release parameters based on a combination of at least one value of an in-game action metric and at least one value of a registry metric.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system configured to determine release logistics for releases of unique digital articles in an online gaming platform, wherein a release of a set of unique digital articles includes availability of the set of unique digital articles to players of the online gaming platform through a store or marketplace, wherein the set of unique digital articles has not previously been available to the players through the store or the marketplace, the system comprising:
the online gaming platform including one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
execute, within the online gaming platform, an instance of a game to facilitate presentation of the game to the players, and implement in-game actions in the instance of the game in response to in-game action instructions for the in-game actions by the players, wherein the presentation of the game is based on views of the game that are determined during execution of the instance of the game;
manage player accounts associated with the players, wherein the player accounts include player inventories that include a first set of unique digital articles, wherein the players control the first set of unique digital articles that are associated with a first set of in-game user-controllable characters; and
generate and transfer sets of instructions to record and/or modify a first set of usage information on one or more permanent registries, wherein the first set of usage information pertains to the first set of unique digital articles;
a registry server including one or more processors configured by one or more machine-readable instructions to:
implement at least one of the one or more permanent registries, including a first permanent registry; and
receive and execute one or more of the sets of instructions on the first permanent registry such that ownership of one or more unique digital articles in the first set of unique digital articles is recorded on the first permanent registry; and
wherein the one or more hardware processors included in the online gaming platform are further configured to:
monitor a first set of in-game action instructions for a first set of in-game actions by the players;
determine one or more values for in-game action metrics based on the monitored first set of in-game action instructions;
monitor recorded information, on the one or more permanent registries, for the players;
determine one or more values for registry metrics based on the monitored recorded information; and
determine one or more release parameters for the release of the set of unique digital articles, wherein determination of the one or more release parameters is based on a combination of at least one of the one or more values for in-game action metrics and at least one of the one or more values for registry metrics.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the in-game action metrics include: (i) time spent logged into the online gaming platform for individual ones of the players.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein the in-game action metrics further include: (ii) time spent interacting within the instance of the game for individual ones of the players.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The system of claim 3, wherein the in-game action metrics further include: (iii) a number of times individual ones of the players have logged into the online gaming platform per a predetermined time frame, wherein the predetermined time frame is between 1 day and 60 days long.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the in-game action metrics further include: an amount of consideration the first player has spent within the online gaming platform per a predetermined time frame, wherein the predetermined time frame is between 1 day and 60 days long.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more hardware processors included in the online gaming platform are further configured to:
control the release of the set of unique digital articles to the players in accordance with the determined one or more release parameters.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the registry metrics include: (i) number of unique digital articles recorded as owned by individual ones of the players.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the registry metrics further include: (ii) estimated value of the unique digital articles recorded as owned by individual ones of the players.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the registry metrics further include: (iii) number of transactions involving the unique digital articles recorded as owned by individual ones of the players in which the individual ones of the players are sellers.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the registry metrics further include: (iv) number of unique digital articles recorded on a public permanent registry as owned by individual ones of the players.

### Claim 11

A method of determining release logistics for releases of unique digital articles in an online gaming platform, wherein a release of a set of unique digital articles includes availability of the set of unique digital articles to players of the online gaming platform through a store or marketplace, wherein the set of unique digital articles has not previously been available to the players through the store or the marketplace, the method comprising:
executing, within the online gaming platform, an instance of a game to facilitate presentation of the game to the players, and implementing in-game actions in the instance of the game in response to in-game action instructions for the in-game actions by the players, wherein the presentation of the game is based on views of the game that are determined during execution of the instance of the game;
