Device, system, and method for controlling memory usage associated with an intermediation engine for a virtual platform

An intermediation engine for interaction with a virtual platform, the intermediation engine comprising:

• a controller;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon program instructions that, when executed by the controller, causes the controller to perform a set of operations comprising:
• determining that an exchange has occurred within the virtual platform, the exchange being of a first data record for a first amount of a first electronic currency associated with the virtual platform, the first data record associated with a computing device external to the virtual platform, the exchange associated with a first account profile associated with the computing device;
• exchanging, within the virtual platform, the first amount of the first electronic currency, for a second data record associated with the virtual platform;
• maintaining, at a first memory, an indication of the second data record;
• exchanging the indication of the second data record for a second amount of a second electronic currency used external to the virtual platform, the second amount received external to the virtual platform;
• transferring, within the virtual platform, the second data record to a second account profile;
• transferring, external to the virtual platform, at least a portion of the second amount to a second memory associated with the computing device;
• and
• in response to the transferring of the second data record to the second account profile, clearing the first memory of the indication of the second data record.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon program instructions that, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform a method comprising:

• determining that an exchange has occurred within a virtual platform, the exchange being of a first data record for a first amount of a first electronic currency associated with the virtual platform, the first data record associated with a computing device external to the virtual platform, the exchange associated with a first account profile associated with the computing device;
• exchanging, within the virtual platform, the first amount of the first electronic currency, for a second data record associated with the virtual platform;
• maintaining, at a first memory, an indication of the second data record;
• exchanging the indication of the second data record for a second amount of a second electronic currency used external to the virtual platform, the second amount received external to the virtual platform;
• transferring, within the virtual platform, the second data record to a second account profile;
• transferring, external to the virtual platform, at least a portion of the second amount to a second memory associated with the computing device;
• and
• in response to the transferring of the second data record to the second account profile, clearing the first memory of the indication of the second data record.
