## Abstract

A system to perform operations that include: accessing a data object that comprises an Augmented-Reality (AR) filter; accessing a blockchain based on the accessing the data object; minting a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) based on the data object and the blockchain; and storing the NFT on the blockchain.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
accessing a data object that comprises an Augmented-Reality (AR) filter;
accessing a blockchain based on the accessing the data object;
generating a hash value based on the data object that comprises the AR filter;
generating a token name and a token symbol; and
minting a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) based on the hash value, the token name, and the token symbol; and
storing the NFT on the blockchain.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:
identifying an owner of the NFT; and
conferring a permission associated with the NFT to the owner.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:
allocating the NFT to an owner;
enabling an access period based on the allocating the NFT to the owner;
receiving a request to access the NFT from a user within the access period; and
minting an open-edition of the NFT based on the request.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the access period comprises a period of time.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the access period comprises a maximum number of open-edition.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the minting the open-edition comprises incrementing a counter associated with the NFT.

### Claim 7

A system comprising:
a memory; and
at least one hardware processor coupled to the memory and comprising instructions that causes the system to perform operations comprising:
accessing a data object that comprises an Augmented-Reality (AR) filter;
accessing a blockchain based on the accessing the data object;
generating a hash value based on the data object that comprises the AR filter;
generating a token name and a token symbol; and
minting a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) based on the hash value, the token name, and the token symbol; and
storing the NFT on the blockchain.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the operations further comprise:
identifying an owner of the NFT; and
conferring a permission associated with the NFT to the owner.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the operations further comprise:
allocating the NFT to an owner;
enabling an access period based on the allocating the NFT to the owner;
receiving a request to access the NFT from a user within the access period; and
minting an open-edition of the NFT based on the request.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the access period comprises a period of time.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the access period comprises a maximum number of open-edition.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the minting the open-edition comprises incrementing a counter associated with the NFT.

### Claim 13

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations including:
accessing a data object that comprises an Augmented-Reality (AR) filter;
accessing a blockchain based on the accessing the data object;
generating a hash value based on the data object that comprises the AR filter;
generating a token name and a token symbol; and
minting a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) based on the hash value, the token name, and the token symbol; and
storing the NFT on the blockchain.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises:
identifying an owner of the NFT; and
conferring a permission associated with the NFT to the owner.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein the operations further comprise:
allocating the NFT to an owner;
enabling an access period based on the allocating the NFT to the owner;
receiving a request to access the NFT from a user within the access period; and
minting an open-edition of the NFT based on the request.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the access period comprises a period of time.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the minting the open-edition comprises incrementing a counter associated with the NFT.
