Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 11:
12. A method for managing digital assets represented by cryptographic tokens comprising:
instructing the creation or minting of a plurality of initial cryptographic tokens via a first common digital contract registered on a distributed ledger, each token representing a digital asset with at least one attribute capable of evolving through a plurality of evolutionary stages;
distributing the plurality of initial cryptographic tokens to a plurality of token holders;
monitoring one or more external triggering events that can influence the evolution of the at least one attribute;
evolving the at least one attribute of the digital asset to a subsequent one of the plurality of evolutionary stages in response to the one or more external triggering events;
receiving a locking request from a token holder to selectively lock a digital asset defined by one of the initial cryptographic tokens at a specific evolutionary stage;
instructing the creation or minting of a subsequent cryptographic token that captures the state of the digital asset at the specific evolutionary stage; and
instructing the transfer of the subsequent cryptographic token to a digital wallet or account of the requesting token holder.
