Tokenization platform

A system for integrating real-world items into video games, comprising:

• an interface configured to receive an identifier of a real-world item, the real-world item having a set of real-world-item attributes;
• a token generation system configured to:
• generate a unique digital token that has a set of digital attributes that correspond to the set of real-world item attributes;
• and
• generate a cryptographically secure, one-to-at-least-one link between the digital token generated by the cryptographic token generation system and the identifier of the real-world item, such that the digital token provides a digital representation of the real-world item and is associated with a video game, such that digital token corresponds to an in-game benefit in the video game that is unlocked for an owner of the digital token;
• a ledger update system configured to:
• write the digital token to a blockchain in accordance with a protocol, thereby facilitating transactions for the real-world item using the digital token;
• and
• assign the digital token to an account of a user on the blockchain in accordance with the protocol, whereby once assigned to the account of the user, the digital token indicates an ownership right of the user to the real-world item that is cryptographically linked to the digital token;
• and
• a video game integration system configured to:
• receive a request from an instance of the video game, wherein the request is indicative of the user and requests eligible digital tokens owned by the user;
• access the account of the user on the blockchain using a public address of the user to verify that the user is the owner of the digital token;
• and
• in response to verifying that the user is the owner of the digital token, serve the digital token to the instance of a video game, the video game instance unlocks the in-game benefit corresponding to the digital token in response to receiving the digital token.
