The system may associate the one or more NFTs with other NFTs to create a collection of NFTs that form a song, album, video, or other collection/combination of media content. The system may provide a NFT collectible player to interact with the combination of NFTs in a particular order or for a particular duration. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of generating an electronic media composition using a plurality of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) associated with media content, the method comprising: receiving, via a digital vault, a non-fungible token (NFT) of the plurality of NFTs associated with the media content; associating, via the digital vault, the NFT with other NFTs of the plurality of NFTs associated with the media content, wherein the association of the NFT with the other NFTs creates the electronic media composition associated with multiple NFTs; and providing, via the digital vault, a NFT collectible player to interact with the electronic media composition using the plurality of NFTs, wherein the media content is played in a particular order or for a particular duration in accordance with NFT metadata of the plurality of NFTs, wherein the NFT of the plurality of NFTs is a first component NFT representing a first musical instrument and the plurality of NFTs includes a second component NFT representing a second musical instrument different from the first musical instrument. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: upon receiving the NFT and the other NFTs of the plurality of NFTs, initiating a minting process to generate a collection NFT corresponding with the electronic media composition, wherein the minting process converts digital data associated with the media content into digital assets. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: storing the digital data in a distributed ledger or decentralized database that cannot be edited, modified, or deleted. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: storing the digital data in a blockchain. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the media content is generated through a collaboration in creating or revising the media content by a plurality of user devices. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of NFTs associated with the media content are owned by a single user defined in the NFT metadata. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of NFTs associated with the media content are accessible via licensing terms defined in the NFT metadata. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: providing the licensing terms as a licensing terms sheet that identifies a creator user as—an owner of the NFT of the plurality of NFTs. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the licensing terms define restrictions of use of the NFT of the plurality of NFTs. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of NFTs associated with the media content are accessible via a subscription service joined by a user accessing the media content. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the NFT of the plurality of NFTs is a first component NFT representing a first portion of a video and the plurality of NFTs includes a second component NFT representing a second portion of the video different than the first portion of the video. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: providing a search feature via the digital vault; receiving a search term associated with the NFT of the plurality of NFTs; and initiating a transaction to transfer ownership or access to the NFT based on the search term. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the search feature comprises a filtering option to return search results that include NFTs that are available to transfer permanent or temporary ownership. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of NFTs are combined to create an electronic media composition with the first component NFT and the second component NFT, and the method further comprises: initiating a minting process with the plurality of NFTs associated with the media content and a media collection NFT, wherein the media collection NFT represents the electronic media composition. ### Claim 15 A digital vault configured to generate an electronic media composition using a plurality of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) associated with media content, the digital vault comprising: a memory; and a processor that is configured to execute machine readable instructions stored in the memory to: receive, via the digital vault, a non-fungible token (NFT) of the plurality of NFTs associated with the media content; associate, via the digital vault, the NFT with other NFTs of the plurality of NFTs associated with the media content, wherein the association of the NFT with the other NFTs creates the electronic media composition associated with multiple NFTs; and provide, via the digital vault, a NFT collectible player to interact with the electronic media composition using the plurality of NFTs, wherein the media content is played in a particular order or for a particular duration in accordance with NFT metadata of the plurality of NFTs, wherein the NFT of the plurality of NFTs is a first component NFT representing a first musical instrument and the plurality of NFTs includes a second component NFT representing a second musical instrument different from the first musical instrument. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The digital vault of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to execute machine readable instructions stored in the memory to: upon receiving the NFT and the other NFTs of the plurality of NFTs, initiate a minting process to generate a collection NFT corresponding with the electronic media composition, wherein the minting process converts digital data associated with the media content into digital assets. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The digital vault of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to execute machine readable instructions stored in the memory to: store the digital data in a distributed ledger or decentralized database that cannot be edited, modified, or deleted. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The digital vault of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to execute machine readable instructions stored in the memory to: store the digital data in a blockchain. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The digital vault of claim 15, wherein the media content is generated through a collaboration in creating or revising the media content by a plurality of user devices. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The digital vault of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to execute machine readable instructions stored in the memory to: provide a search feature via the digital vault; receive a search term associated with the NFT of the plurality of NFTs; and initiate a transaction to transfer ownership or access to the NFT based on the search term.
