Computer-implmented system and method for providing a digital asset marketplace

A system for providing a digital asset marketplace, the system comprising one or more processors that:

• provide one or more first users with selectable locations or spaces available for displaying digital assets, wherein the selectable locations or spaces are suitable for displaying digital assets that are available for purchase or trade and that are viewable by means of Augmented Reality (AR) devices, the selectable locations or spaces associated with one or more of:
• a real-world object, and
• a body or body part associated with the one or more first users, comprising persons or animals associated with the one or more first users, wherein each selectable location or space has a geo-location associated therewith;
• receive a selection from the one or more first users regarding particular location(s) or space(s) upon which the one or more first users prefer to virtually display their digital asset(s), and details regarding their digital asset(s);
• upload the digital asset(s) to the particular location(s) or space(s) selected by the one or more first users;
• receive, from a data communications device associated with a second user, a request to locate digital assets available for purchasing and/or trading within a particular geographical area;
• and
• cause the data communications device associated with the second user to display a map of the particular geographical area, the map displaying any locations or spaces in which digital assets of the one or more first users are viewable by the second user, by means of an AR device,
• wherein the second user is required to be physically present at the location or space to view the digital asset(s) by means of the AR device such that when the AR device of the second user arrives at the geo-location associated with the location or space and a camera device associated with the AR device is used to view same, an augmented experience is activated for the second user with the ability to view available digital assets associated with the geo-location;
• prompt the second user to purchase or trade a digital asset selected from the available digital assets using another digital asset owned by the second user;
• and
• based on the second user selecting an available digital asset for purchase or trade and compensating the first user according to agreed purchase or trade terms, update the ownership of the digital asset comprising updating a blockchain with which the digital asset is associated and a destination blockchain to which the digital asset is to transfer in accordance with the purchase or trade terms, by:
• deploying a first smart contract to the blockchain with which the digital asset is associated in a locked state, and
• deploying a second smart contract to the destination blockchain for the purpose of unlocking the digital asset of the destination blockchain.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising instructions that when executed on a computer, causes one or more processors of the computer to perform steps to provide a digital asset marketplace, comprising:

• providing one or more first users with selectable locations or spaces available for displaying digital assets, wherein the selectable locations or spaces are suitable for displaying digital assets that are available for purchase or trade and that are viewable by means of Augmented Reality (AR) devices, the selectable locations or spaces associated with one or more of:
• a real-world object, and
• a body or body part associated with the one or more first users, comprising persons or animals associated with the one or more first users, wherein each selectable location or space has a geo-location associated therewith;
• receiving a selection from the one or more first users regarding particular location(s) or space(s) upon which the one or more first users prefer to virtually display their digital asset(s), and details regarding their digital asset(s);
• uploading the digital asset(s) to the particular location(s) or space(s) selected by the one or more first users;
• receiving, from a data communications device associated with a second user, a request to locate digital assets available for purchasing and/or trading within a particular geographical area;
• and
• causing the data communications device associated with the second user to display a map of the particular geographical area, the map displaying any locations or spaces in which digital assets of the one or more first users are viewable by the second user, by means of an AR device,
• wherein the second user is required to be physically present at the location or space to view the digital asset(s) by means of the AR device such that when the AR device of the second user arrives at the geo-location associated with the location or space and a camera device associated with the AR device is used to view same, an augmented experience is activated for the second user with the ability to view available digital assets associated with the geo-location;
• prompt the second user to purchase or trade a digital asset selected from the available digital assets using another digital asset owned by the second user;
• and
• based on the second user selecting an available digital asset for purchase or trade and compensating the first user according to agreed purchase or trade terms, update the ownership of the digital asset comprising updating a blockchain with which the digital asset is associated and a destination blockchain to which the digital asset is to transfer in accordance with the purchase or trade terms, by:
• deploying a first smart contract to the blockchain with which the digital asset is associated in a locked state, and
• deploying a second smart contract to the destination blockchain for the purpose of unlocking the digital asset of the destination blockchain.
