Abstract

A geographic tracking and non-fungible token trading platform generates a premium asset uniquely identified by a non-fungible token (NFT) and including at least one redeemable item. The platform awards the premium asset to a user of a client device based on gameplay in a game on the platform. The platform determines a value of the premium asset based at least in part on a rank of the premium item that is based on availability and/or obtainability of the premium asset within the platform and at least in part on whether the at least one redeemable item has been redeemed. The platform generates a dashboard displaying the premium asset to the user and interacts with the user to redeem the redeemable item and interacts with the client device to trade the premium asset on an NFT marketplace.
