Abstract

Systems and methods for dispersing gains derived from ownership of user-generated content among users of a gaming platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: execute an instance of a game and implement in-game actions in the instance of the game as requested by the users; assign ownership of a first item of user-generated content to a group of users; record the ownership of the first item of user-generated content by the group of users; determine a first quantity of gains that have been gained within the gaming platform through use of the first item of user-generated content; and disperse at least a portion of the first quantity of gains to individual ones of the group of users.

Dependent claims

A system configured to disperse gains derived from ownership of user-generated content among users of an online gaming platform, wherein the online gaming platform hosts a game, the system comprising:

the online gaming platform comprising one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
record, on a decentralized ledger implemented by a decentralized ledger server, ownership of a first item of user-generated content by a group of owning users including a first user and a second user such that a first fraction of the first item of user-generated content is owned by the first user and a second fraction of the first item of user-generated content is owned by the second user;
determine a first quantity of gains that have been gained from the users within the online gaming platform through use in the game of the first item of user-generated content by the users;
and
automatically disperse, by the one or more processors, at least a first portion of the first quantity of gains to the first user and a second portion of the first quantity of gains to the second user, based on the first fraction and the second fraction of the ownership of the first item of user-generated content as recorded on the decentralized ledger.

A method for dispersing gains derived from ownership of user-generated content among users of an online gaming platform that hosts a game, wherein the online gaming platform includes one or more processors, the method comprising:

recording, on a decentralized ledger implemented by a decentralized ledger server, ownership of a first item of user-generated content by a group of owning users including a first user and a second user such that a first fraction of the first item of user-generated content is owned by the first user and a second fraction of the first item of user-generated content is owned by the second user;
determining a first quantity of gains that have been gained from the users within the online gaming platform through use in the game of the first item of user-generated content by the users;
and
automatically dispersing, by the one or more processors, at least a first portion of the first quantity of gains to the first user and a second portion of the first quantity of gains to the second user, based on the first fraction and the second fraction of the ownership of the first item of user-generated content as recorded on the decentralized ledger.
