Systems and methods to produce a physical article that provides admission authorization to an event and correlated digital asset from a temporary wallet are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: establish one or more temporary wallets; effectuate a smart contract that causes the temporary wallets to hold digital assets, where individual digital assets are correlated with event information; generate one or more wallet machine-readable mediums that represent the temporary wallets; generate one or more asset machine-readable mediums that represent the digital assets; cause an output device to output the wallet machine-readable mediums and the wallet machine-readable mediums on physical articles that provide admission authorizations events or locations; upon user devices scanning the wallet machine-readable mediums, the users may be enabled to establish digital wallets or access digital wallets such that the digital asset is transferred from the temporary wallets to the digital wallets.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods produce a physical article that provides admission authorization to an event and correlated digital asset from a temporary wallet.

BACKGROUND

Existing admission distribution systems may provide admission authorizations to events or locations. Such admission distribution systems may not enable users who obtain the admission authorizations to obtain digital assets that are associated with the events or locations, which may be collectible assets.

SUMMARY

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system configured to enable obtainment of digital assets in addition to obtaining admission authorizations to events or locations. The system may establish a temporary wallet that includes an address recorded on a decentralized ledger and a private key that enables access to such address. A digital asset may be established and a transaction may be recorded on the decentralized ledger specifying that the address of the temporary wallet holds the digital asset. The digital asset may be correlated with event information for an event or location. A physical article that provides an admission authorization to the event or location may include a wallet machine-readable medium that a user holding the admission authorization may scan with their personal smart device to either establish their own digital wallet or access an existing digital wallet, and thus obtain the digital asset held by the temporary wallet. The physical article may additionally include an asset machine-readable medium. Upon a reader device at the event or location scanning the asset machine-readable medium, attendance information may be recognized and stored to the decentralized ledger.

As such, a system that establishes digital assets, distributes the digital assets to individuals that attend events or locations, records attendance to the events or locations, and records ownership of the digital assets by the individuals in a decentralized manner amongst a plurality of distributing computing platforms is provided. A decentralized manner of performing such limitations may ensure that one set of servers does not burden performing all the limitations for a plurality of events and/or locations and risk overwhelming the set of servers. The system may further enable and facilitate increased recordation of ownership of digital assets that are correlated with the events and/or the locations as the system provides individuals a simplified manner to do so. The decentralized manner may additionally ensure that the ownership of the digital assets is not easily mutable unless modified via instructions that are implemented by the distributed computing platforms.

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system configured to produce a physical article that provides admission authorization to an event and correlated digital asset from a temporary wallet. The system may include one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions. The machine-readable instructions may include one or more instruction components. The instruction components may include one or more of temporary wallet generating component, contract effectuation component, medium generating component, output component, attendance component, and/or other instruction components.

The temporary wallet generating component may be configured to generate one or more temporary wallets such that private keys and addresses on a decentralized ledger are generated. The private keys may provide access to consideration at the respective addresses.

The contract effectuation component may be configured to effectuate a smart contract. The smart contract may be encoded to i) mint one or more digital assets, ii) receive the addresses corresponding to the one or more temporary wallets, iii) generate one or more sets of instructions to record transaction information on the decentralized ledger that specifies individual ones of the one or more digital assets are sent to individual ones of the addresses, and iv) execute the set of instructions, and/or other functions. The one or more digital assets may be unique identifiers. The contract effectuation component may be configured to store the one or more digital assets to on a decentralized ledger.

The medium generating component may be configured to generate one or more wallet machine-readable mediums based on the private keys and a uniform resource locator. The uniform resource locator may enable establishment of or provide access to a wallet software package upon a reader device interpreting individual ones of the one or more wallet machine-readable mediums. The medium generating component may be configured to generate one or more asset machine-readable mediums based on the one or more digital assets.

The output component may be configured to obtain an indication that a sale of an admission authorization to an event or location occurred. The indication may be obtained from an admission distribution system. The indication may include event information for the event or location stored in an event database.

The output component may be configured to correlate a first digital asset stored in on decentralized ledger with the event information. The one or more digital assets may include the first digital asset.

The output component may be configured to generate and transmit instructions, to an output device, to: i) output a first asset machine-readable medium that represents the first digital asset stored in on decentralized ledger, ii) output a first wallet machine-readable medium that represents a first private key that provides access to the first digital asset at a first address tracked on the decentralized ledger, and iii) print at least some of the event information on a physical article.

The attendance component may be configured to obtain, from an event reader device upon the event reader device interpreting the first asset machine-readable medium, an admission indication that conveys redemption of the admission authorization and attendance to the event or location. The attendance component may be configured to store attendance information to the decentralized ledger based on the admission indication.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG.1illustrates a system100configured produce a physical article that provides admission authorization to an event or location and a digital asset from a temporary wallet, in accordance with one or more implementations. As admission authorizations to events or locations become more digital, the admission authorizations, e.g., tickets, may be managed on a decentralized ledger118as opposed to managed by a single entity. A majority of users may not understand decentralized technology and digital assets tracked on decentralized ledger118. To encourage obtainment and management of the digital assets by the users, e.g., non-fungible tokens, temporary wallet that hold digital assets may be generated and accompany admission authorizations to events or locations. The temporary wallets may be represented by machine-readable mediums that are accompanied with the admission authorizations, which may be read by reader devices (e.g., camera on a smart device configured to read or scan QR codes or barcodes) of the users to facilitate establishment and/or permanent obtainment of the digital assets. Thus, obtainment and management of the digital assets is eased for the users.

In some implementations, system100may include one or more servers102. Server(s)102may be configured to communicate with one or more client computing platform(s)104according to a client/server architecture and/or other architectures. Client computing platform(s)104may be configured to communicate with other client computing platforms via server(s)102and/or according to a peer-to-peer architecture and/or other architectures. Users may access system100via client computing platform(s)104.

As used herein, the term “digital asset” may refer to a unique identifier tracked on one or more permanent registries. The digital assets may be uniquely identified and/or uniquely identifiable. The unique identifier may include a set of numbers and/or alphabetic characters. As used herein, rights pertaining to digital assets may be tracked, recorded, and/or otherwise registered on one or more permanent registries. As such, an individual digital asset may be a registry-tracked digital asset.

Individual digital assets may be associated and/or correlated with another entity (which may be referred to as a “correlated entity”) by virtue of technology provided and/or supported by the one or more permanent registries on which the rights pertaining to the individual digital assets is tracked (including but not limited to smart contracts and/or other executable code on the one or more permanent registries). Accordingly, rights pertaining to a digital asset may correlate to the provision of one or more rights with respect to the correlated entity (e.g., control of the correlated entity and/or accessibility to the correlated entity). Transactions involving a digital asset recorded on a permanent registry may correlate to certain transactions (or modifications) of the correlated entity, and/or vice versa.

Various types and/or combinations of correlated entities are envisioned within the scope of this disclosure, including but not limited to physical article, virtual objects, content, rights, memberships, grants, etc. The use of the singular “entity” or “correlated entity” is not intended to be limiting, as multiple different objects, content, rights, memberships, grants, etc. may be correlated to a single digital asset. By way of non-limiting example, a correlated entity may be a physical article (e.g., artwork, a ticket to an event), a subscription to certain media content, content and so forth. The content may include an image, a video, a graphic image file, a signature of notoriety, a sound bite of an audio file, the audio file, text, and/or other content stored on the permanent registry and/or other electronic storage. In some implementations, the correlated entity may refer to any physical articles, virtual objects, content, rights, memberships, grants, etc. related to art and entertainment for which a user may use, own, sell, trade, loan, destroy, and/or otherwise effectuate a change of ownership, access, or control (including exchanges through challenges).

A digital asset may be fungible if it is functionally and/or physically indistinguishable from another digital asset. A digital asset may be non-fungible if it is unique, or one-of-a-kind. For example, a specific individual may be non-fungible. A digital asset may be semi-fungible if there is a set of a limited number of similar but distinguishable digital assets. For example, a limited amount of images of a sports team for a particular year may be semi-fungible. For example, a digital ticket to a show, concert, exhibition, and/or other event may be semi-fungible. The semi-fungible digital assets are considered as unique, “not fungible”, or non-fungible digital assets. In some implementations, the digital assets may include non-fungible tokens, fungible tokens, semi-fungible tokens, and/or other digital assets.

In some implementations, permanent registries, or decentralized ledger(s)118, may be implemented by registry servers or decentralized database server(s)120. The terms “permanent registries” and “decentralized ledgers” may be used interchangeably herein. The terms “registry servers” and “decentralized database servers” may be used interchangeably herein. In some implementations, one or more permanent registries may be decentralized and/or immutable registries. In some implementations, the one or more permanent registries may be one or more databases on which the rights pertaining to the individual digital assets are tracked and/or recorded. In some implementations, blockchains may be maintained by distributed computing platforms (not shown inFIG.1). In some implementations, a distributed computing platform may be implemented by a set of client computing platform(s)104and/or servers (including, for example, one or more registry servers). The distributed computing platform may support a virtual machine (not shown inFIG.1). The distributed computing platform and/or the virtual machine may form a runtime environment for smart contracts and/or other executable code. A distributed computing platform may include electronic storage configured to store part or all of individual blockchains. For example, the smart contracts may be stored on one or more blockchains, and/or another permanent registry. In some implementations, the distributed computing platform may be Ethereum. In some implementations, the distributed computing platform may be similar to or based on Ethereum. In some implementations, the virtual machine may be a distributed and/or decentralized virtual machine.

In some implementations, at least one of the permanent registries may be a private permissioned permanent registry (e.g., a private permissioned blockchain). The private permissioned permanent registry may be configured to record information and/or track addresses (e.g., corresponding to digital wallets, smart contracts, etc.). The recorded information may include rights pertaining to the digital assets. For example, ownership rights and/or other accessibility may be modified. In some implementations, the ownership rights and/or other rights may be indicated by addresses, tracked and recorded by the permanent registries on the registry servers, that correspond to digital wallets of users and transaction information recorded on the permanent registry. In some implementations, a digital asset may be removed from one permanent registry and added or recorded on another permanent registry. In some implementations, at least one of the permanent registries implemented by the registry servers is a public permanent registry (e.g., a public blockchain). The public permanent registry may be configured to be part of either Ethereum mainnet, Ethereum 1.5, Ethereum 2.0, or a derivative of Ethereum 2.0 that is configured to perform transactions of Ether (ETH) between accounts.

Elements of a blockchain or another permanent registry may be grouped together in units that are referred to as blocks. For example, an individual block may include one or more digital assets and one or more transactions. For example, an individual block may be linked to one or more other individual blocks. Individual blocks may be linked or chained together to form a structure of blocks and/or a hierarchy of blocks, such as, e.g., a chain of blocks. An individual block may include one or more digital assets, one or more transactions, smart contracts, and/or other information.

In some implementations, one or more permanent registries implemented by the registry servers may be publicly accessible. In some implementations, for example, the one or more databases may be accessible via a mobile application or a website. In some implementations, one or more permanent registries implemented by the registry servers may be private and/or permissioned. In some implementations, one or more permanent registries implemented by the registry servers may be append-only. In some implementations, existing blocks of one or more permanent registries implemented by the registry servers can substantially not be altered or deleted, unless multiple copies are altered. This is unlikely to happen provided that the multiple copies are stored on different computing platforms, e.g., in different geographical locations. Permanent registries may be replicated on multiple computing platforms, preferably in multiple different geographical locations. Additionally, individual blocks may be linked together in a manner that prevents tampering, such as, e.g., using a hash chain and/or digital signatures. In particular, hash values may be generated using fixed-output-length one-way hashing functions that take variable-length input, and may be effectively impossible (or, at least, computationally infeasible) to reverse. As such, a hashing function may provide one-way encryption. By way of non-limiting example, the hashing function may be SHA-256, BLAKE2, SHAKE256, and/or another hashing function. Contents of individual blocks, transactions, and/or articles may be digitally signed in a manner that proves integrity and/or prevents tampering, e.g., by providing authentication, as well as non-repudiation.

Server(s)102may be configured by machine-readable instructions106. Machine-readable instructions106may include one or more instruction components. The instruction components may include computer program components. The instruction components may include one or more of temporary wallet generating component108, contract effectuation component110, medium generating component112, wallet component114, output component122, attendance component124, verification component128, and/or other instruction components.

External resources132may include sources of information outside of system100, external entities participating with system100, and/or other resources. In some implementations, some or all of the functionality attributed herein to external resources132may be provided by resources included in system100.

Processor(s)136may be configured to provide information processing capabilities in server(s)102. As such, processor(s)136may include one or more of a digital processor, an analog processor, a digital circuit designed to process information, an analog circuit designed to process information, a state machine, and/or other mechanisms for electronically processing information. Although processor(s)136is shown inFIG.1as a single entity, this is for illustrative purposes only. In some implementations, processor(s)136may include a plurality of processing units. These processing units may be physically located within the same device, or processor(s)136may represent processing functionality of a plurality of devices operating in coordination. Processor(s)136may be configured to execute components108,110,112,114,122,124, and/or128, and/or other components. Processor(s)136may be configured to execute components108,110,112,114,122,124, and/or128, and/or other components by software; hardware; firmware; some combination of software, hardware, and/or firmware; and/or other mechanisms for configuring processing capabilities on processor(s)136. As used herein, the term “component” may refer to any component or set of components that perform the functionality attributed to the component. This may include one or more physical processors during execution of processor readable instructions, the processor readable instructions, circuitry, hardware, storage media, or any other components.

It should be appreciated that although components108,110,112,114,122,124, and/or128are illustrated inFIG.1as being implemented within a single processing unit, in implementations in which processor(s)136includes multiple processing units, one or more of components108,110,112,114,122,124, and/or128may be implemented remotely from the other components. The description of the functionality provided by the different components108,110,112,114,122,124, and/or128described below is for illustrative purposes, and is not intended to be limiting, as any of components108,110,112,114,122,124, and/or128may provide more or less functionality than is described. For example, one or more of components108,110,112,114,122,124, and/or128may be eliminated, and some or all of its functionality may be provided by other ones of components108,110,112,114,122,124, and/or128. As another example, processor(s)136may be configured to execute one or more additional components that may perform some or all of the functionality attributed below to one of components108,110,112,114,122,124, and/or128.

Temporary wallet generating component108may be configured to generate temporary wallets (e.g., paper wallets). Generating temporary wallets may include generation of one or more private keys and addresses on decentralized ledger(s)118. An address may be generated based on a public key and a hash function. The public key may be generated based on the private key. Thus, the address may be associated with the private key that it was generated from. The individual addresses may be shared to receive consideration. The private key authorizes control of any consideration associated with the corresponding public key and the corresponding address. The private key may authorize and initiate transactions of the consideration from the address. One or more secret phrases may be generated based on the one or more private keys and may provide access to the consideration at the corresponding addresses. Using the one or more secret phrases to access the consideration at the addresses includes converting the one or more secret phrases to the one or more private keys that it was previously generated from. A secret phrase may be an ordered set of words that represent a human-readable and memorable form of some private key. The secret phrase may be 12, 18, 24, or other amount of words. The consideration may include one or more currencies, cryptocurrencies, digital assets, and/or other consideration.

FIG.3A-3Dmay illustrate an example implementation of system100described inFIG.1throughout this Detailed Description.FIG.3Aillustrates a generated private key302and an address304aused to establish a temporary wallet306. Address304amay be recorded on decentralized ledger118(e.g., the same illustrated inFIG.1).

Referring back toFIG.1, contract effectuation component110may be configured to effectuate a smart contract130. The smart contact may be encoded to mint a digital asset, receive the addresses corresponding to the temporary wallets, generate one or more sets of instructions to record transaction information on decentralized ledger(s)118that specify individual ones of the digital assets are sent to individual ones of the addresses, execute the one or more set of instructions, and/or other functions. Smart contract130may be configured to transmit the one or more sets of instructions to decentralized database server(s)120to execute or otherwise cause execution of the one or more sets of instructions. For example, a first set of instructions may be generated to record first transaction information specifying a first digital asset is sent to a first address. Thus, a first temporary wallet, by way of its corresponding first address, may hold the first digital asset. The first temporary wallet may include a first private key that provides access to the first address. Smart contract130may be configured to transmit the first set of instructions to decentralized database server(s)120to execute. Thus, decentralized ledger(s)118may record that the first temporary wallet holds the first digital asset.

As used herein, the word “mint” may refer to performance, initiating, and/or execution of the process(es), transaction(s), procedure(s), operation(s), and/or step(s) that result in the instantiation of a given digital asset, including the establishment of ownership, and definition of appearance associated with the given digital asset. Minting the given digital asset may include generating the given digital asset record for a given composition entity. In some implementations, minting the given digital asset may include building an executable program. The executable program to be transmitted to a distributed computing platform(s) capable of executing the program. In some implementations, execution of the program by the distributed computing platform may display the entity correlated to the given digital asset on the distributed platforms. In some implementations, the given digital asset record may include values or other information that define the correlated entity. In some implementations, the given digital asset record may be recorded at a given address on decentralized ledger(s)118in a smart contract and/or other executable code. The given digital asset record may include information pertaining to the minted given digital asset, not limited to what defines the correlated entity.

Contract effectuation component110may be configured to store the digital assets on decentralized ledger118. The digital assets stored on decentralized ledger118and any content or information correlated to the digital assets may be publicly accessible and viewable for verification of attendance to an event as described herein. For example, the first digital asset may be stored on decentralized ledger118. The digital assets may include the first digital asset and/or other digital assets.

Referring back toFIG.3A, a smart contract308may mint digital asset310. Digital asset310may be stored on decentralized ledger118(the same illustrated inFIG.1). Furthermore, smart contract308may receive address304aand generate instructions332to record a transaction312that specifies digital asset310is to be sent to address304a. Transaction312may be recorded on decentralized ledger118. Thus,FIG.3Billustrates that temporary wallet306holds digital asset310by way of address304aand private key302that enables authorization and initiation of transactions of the consideration from address304a. Digital asset310, i.e., the consideration, may be correlated with an entity314as described inFIG.1. Entity314may be specified as the example implementation proceeds herein.

Referring back toFIG.1, medium generating component112may be configured to generate wallet machine-readable mediums based on the private keys, a uniform resource locator (URL), and/or other information. By way of non-limiting example, a first wallet machine-readable medium may be generated based on the first private key and the URL. A machine-readable medium may be a machine-readable optical code (e.g., a quick response (QR) code, a barcode), a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, a near field communication (NFC) chip, and/or other machine-readable medium. The URL may enable establishment of or provide access to a wallet software package via an online platform upon a reader device interpreting individual ones of the wallet machine-readable mediums. In some implementations, generating the wallet machine-readable medium may include generating and transmitting instructions to an output device that generates machine-readable mediums. By way of non-limiting example, the output device may be a printer, an RFID device generator, RFID tag generator, and/or other output devices. The instructions may include the private keys, the URL, and/or other information. The reader device may be configured to scan or otherwise read wallet machine-readable mediums to interpret the URL and the private keys imbedded in the wallet machine-readable mediums. In some implementations, the reader device may be included in client computing platform104associated with a user. The reader device may include an RFID reader, a QR code scanner, a barcode scanner, an NFC chip reader, a camera on a smart device of the user, and/or other reader devices. Thus, upon the reader device interpreting the wallet machine-readable medium, the URL may be executed.

By way of non-limiting example, the wallet software package may include a web software package, a desktop software package, a mobile software package, virtual computing software package. The wallet software package may be a locally run program that is installed on a computer (the desktop software package), installed on a mobile computing device (the mobile software package), or an extension installed on a web browser (the web software package). The program may run with connection to Internet and store private keys and public keys associated with digital wallets.

Medium generating component112may be configured to generate asset machine-readable mediums based on the digital assets. Thus, upon the reader device scanning and interpreting individual ones of the asset machine-readable mediums, the digital assets stored on decentralized ledger118may be determined. As such, interpretation of the asset machine-readable mediums may provide access to the digital assets on decentralized ledger118and thus any information stored on decentralized ledger118, electronic storage134, and/or other electronic storage that the digital assets are correlated to. For example, a first asset machine-readable medium may be generated based on the first digital asset. The interpretation of the first asset machine-readable medium may provide access to the first digital asset on decentralized ledger118and thus any information stored on decentralized ledger118, electronic storage134, and/or other electronic storage that the first digital asset is correlated to.

Output component122may be configured to obtain an indication that a sale of an admission authorization to an event or location occurred. The indication may be obtained from an admission distribution system. The admission authorization to the event or location may enable a user, i.e., a holder of the admission authorization, to attend the event or location physically or virtually. The event or location may be a movie, a concert, a play, a show/movie taping, a theme park, a virtual event (e.g., streamed concert), early access to media content, and/or other events. The indication may include event information for the event stored in an event database (not illustrated) managed by the admission distribution system. The event information may include a name of the event, a physical or virtual location of the event, a start time of the event, an end time of the event, a seat row, a seat number, a seat section, a format of the event, a status, an event sponsor, and/or other event information. In some implementations, a virtual event or location may be or include digital representations of persons, fictional characters, locations, objects, and identifiers such as brands and logos, for example, which populate a virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), or mixed reality (MR) environment. Moreover, that virtual event or location may depict virtual worlds that can be experienced by any number of users synchronously and persistently, while providing continuity of user-related information such as personal identity, user history, entitlements, possessions, payments, and the like. It is noted that the concepts disclosed by the present application may also be applied to events or locations that are hybrids of traditional audiovisual and fully immersive VR/AR/MR experiences, such as interactive video.

Output component122may be configured to correlate the first digital asset stored on decentralized ledger118with the event information. The correlation enables determination of the event information by way of the first digital asset stored on decentralized ledger118. Thus, the event information is correlated to the first digital asset. In some implementations, the event information may be stored on electronic storage associated with the admission distribution system, decentralized ledger118, electronic storage134, and/or other electronic storage where the event information may be publicly accessible or restricted.

Output component122may be configured to generate instructions to: i) output the first asset machine-readable medium that represents the first digital asset stored on decentralized ledger118, ii) output the first wallet machine-readable medium that represents the first temporary wallet that holds the first digital asset tracked on decentralized ledger(s)118, and iii) print at least some of the event information on a physical article, and/or other actions. The instructions may be transmitted to the output device. Outputting the first asset machine-readable medium may include selecting the first asset machine-readable medium generated by medium generating component112based on the first digital asset. Outputting the first wallet machine-readable medium may include selecting the first wallet machine-readable medium (generated by medium generating component112) that represents the first private key, which provides access to the first digital asset at the first address tracked on decentralized ledger(s)118. The wallet machine-readable mediums may include the first wallet machine-readable medium. In some implementations, the output device may be external or separate from the admission distribution system. For example, the first wallet machine-readable medium, the first asset machine-readable medium, and the physical article may be output by an external output device and mailed to the user.

By way of non-limiting example, the physical article may be a piece of paper, a toy, an article of clothing, a plastic card, a collectible article (e.g., a pin), and/or other physical article. In some implementations, the physical article may be associated with and/or be obtained in relation to a virtual object. The virtual object may include a virtual tool, virtual character, virtual pet, an online game, and/or other virtual objects.

In some implementations, the output device may be configured to print wallet machine-readable mediums and/or asset machine-readable mediums as machine-readable optical codes on the physical articles and obfuscate one or more of the machine-readable optical codes. In some implementations, output component122may be configured to instruct the output device to obfuscate the machine-readable optical codes. Obfuscating may include adding a silicone-based coating, wax-based coating, a tamper-proof sticker, and/or other obfuscation over the machine-readable optical codes. The obfuscation on the machine-readable optical codes may be removed to expose the machine-readable optical codes.

In some implementations, the output device may be the same as the admission distribution system and the admission distribution system may be configured to output the physical articles, the wallet machine-readable mediums, and/or the asset machine-readable mediums. For example, the admission distribution system may be a kiosk or machine that the sale is completed at by the user and from where the user receives the physical article, the first wallet machine-readable medium, and the first asset machine-readable medium.

FIG.3Cillustrates a physical article316that includes a wallet QR code318and an asset QR code320printed on such. Physical article316may represent an admission authorization to an event that is obtained by a user. Event information defining the event may be obtained from an admission distribution system (not illustrated) upon obtainment of the admission authorization by the user. Referring toFIG.3B, the event information may be entity314that is correlated with digital asset310. Referring back toFIG.3C, some or all of the event information, e.g., date, location, event name, may be printed on physical article316.

Asset QR code320may represent digital asset310and correlated entity314. Wallet QR code318may represent private key302(illustrated inFIG.3B) and a URL (not illustrated) that may enable establishment of or provide access to a wallet software package upon a smart device324scanning wallet QR code318. Smart device324may belong to the user that holds the admission authorization. Smart device324may be a handheld computer, a tablet computing platform, an augmented-realty wearable, a virtual-reality wearable, a smart phone, a tablet computing platform, a smart watch, or another electronic device configured to be connected to another device via a network.

Referring back toFIG.1, in some implementations, output component122may be configured to generate an optical machine-readable code that represents the first digital asset subsequent to the correlation. For example, the optical machine-readable code may be transmitted to and be viewable via client computing platform104associated with the user upon the sale of the admission authorization completing online with the admission distribution system by the user.

Output component122may be configured to receive, from a second admission distribution system, the first digital asset based on the second admission distribution system interpreting the optical machine-readable code. The second admission distribution system may be, for example, a kiosk at the event at which the user presents the optical machine-readable code in order to receive the first asset machine-readable medium, the first wallet machine-readable medium, and the physical article. The generation and transmission of the instructions to the output device may be responsive to receipt of the first digital asset from the second admission distribution system. The output device may be included in the second admission distribution system (e.g., the kiosk). As such, the second admission distribution system may be configured to output and provide the physical article to the user.

Attendance component124may be configured to obtain an admission indication that conveys redemption of the admission authorization and attendance to the event. The admission indication may be obtained from an event reader device upon the event reader device interpreting the first asset machine-readable medium. The event reader device may be a reader device that is located at the event. In some implementations, for a virtual event, the event reader device may utilize reader devices located in client computing platforms104associated with users that holds the asset machine-readable mediums. For example, the reader devices that comprise the event reader device may include a camera of client computing platform104.

Attendance component124may be configured to store attendance information on decentralized ledger118based on the admission indication. The attendance information may include a time at which the first asset machine-readable medium was read and thus the user attended, an amount of time that the user was late or early based on the time, and/or other attendance information. In some implementations, the attendance information may be stored to electronic storage134and/or other electronic storage. Subsequently, the digital assets that the respective asset machine-readable mediums are based on may be correlated to the attendance information stored in electronic storage134and/or other electronic storage.

Referring back toFIG.3C, upon a reader device322scanning asset QR code320, redemption of the admission authorization and attendance to the event may be recognized. Attendance Information330related to the user holding the admission authorization may be stored on decentralized ledger118(e.g., the same illustrated inFIG.1andFIG.3A).

Referring back toFIG.1, in some implementations, verification component128may be configured to export a copy of the first private key that is represented by the first wallet machine-readable medium subsequent to generation of a paper version of the temporary wallet or non-paper version of the temporary wallet. The copy may be stored in electronic storage134. Verification component128may be configured to verify that the first wallet machine-readable medium includes the first private key. Verifying that the first wallet machine-readable medium correctly includes the first private key may include receiving an interpretation of the first wallet machine-readable medium from a secondary reader. The secondary reader (not illustrated) may be included in system100and read the first wallet machine-readable medium. The secondary reader may be a code scanner, a digital code scanner, RFID reader, and/or other reader capable of reading machine-readable mediums. For example, the secondary reader may scan the first wallet machine-readable medium. Verification component128may be configured to determine whether the first private key, which is the basis of the first wallet machine-readable medium, is output or otherwise recognized based on the received interpretation and the copy of the first private key. Upon verification, verification component128may be configured to destroy the copy of the first private key. Destroying the copy may include deleting the copy from electronic storage134. Upon determination that the first private key is not interpreted (e.g., not printed correctly, the first wallet machine-readable medium does not output the first private key), the first wallet machine-readable medium may be voided. Voiding a given machine-readable medium may include physically destroying the physical article that the given machine-readable medium is printed on, removing the given machine-readable medium from the physical article, covering the given machine-readable medium on the physical article, and/or other methods of voiding the given machine-readable medium so that it is readable and unusable. In some implementations, the first wallet machine-readable medium may be re-generated based on the first private key and re-verified. In some implementations, the first wallet machine-readable medium may be reprinted on the physical article. In some implementations, the verification the first wallet machine-readable medium correctly includes the first private key may occur prior to printing the first wallet machine-readable medium on the physical article given that it is an optical machine-readable code.

Wallet component114may be configured to determine whether the wallet software package is established. Determination of whether the wallet software package is established may be based on the reader device interpreting the individual wallet machine-readable mediums. Responsive to determining that the wallet software package is not established, wallet component114may be configured to initiate access to an online platform via the Internet. The URL may initiate the online platform. The online platform may provide the wallet software package and establishment thereof. Subsequently, a user digital wallet for the user may be created based on the wallet software package. In some implementations, prior to access to the online platform and responsive to determining that the wallet software package is not established, wallet component114may be configured to effectuate presentation of a guide for establishing the wallet software package via the online platform and for establishing the user digital wallet via the wallet software package. The guide may be presented via client computing platform104associate with the user.

Responsive to determining that the wallet software package is established and therefore the user digital wallet exists, wallet component114may be configured to initiate the wallet software package. Initiating the wallet software package may include, for example, importing the first private key that is represented by the first wallet machine-readable medium into the user digital wallet. In some implementations, initiating the wallet software package may include determining the first private key based on receipt of a first secret phrase, which is based on the first private key, and subsequently imported into the user digital wallet. Responsive to the import of the first private key, wallet component114may be configured to transfer the first digital asset, that is correlated to the event information, from the first address (that the first private key provides access to), and thus the first temporary wallet, to the user digital wallet. The transfer may occur automatically upon the import of the first private key.

In some implementations, wallet component114may be configured to generate a second set of instructions. The second set of instructions may record second transaction information specifying that the first digital asset is sent to the user digital wallet. That is, that the first digital asset is recorded at an address included in the user digital wallet. Wallet component114may be configured to transmit the second set of instructions to decentralized database server(s)120to execute. Thus, decentralized ledger(s)118may record that the user digital wallet holds the first digital asset.

In some implementations, wallet component114may be configured to effectuate presentation of a notification that expresses confirmation that the first digital asset was transferred from the first temporary wallet to the user digital wallet. The notification may be presented via client computing platform104associated with the user.

Referring back toFIG.3C, upon smart device324scanning wallet QR code318, the wallet software package may be accessed via the URL that is represented by QR code318. Given that the wallet software package is already established and thus the user owns a digital wallet (as defined inFIG.1),FIG.3Dillustrates temporary wallet306(same as illustrated inFIG.3B) and private key302(same as illustrated inFIG.3B) importing into a digital wallet326of the user from temporary wallet306. Subsequently, given private key302, digital asset310may be transferred from address304ato an address304bincluded in digital wallet326. Thus, digital asset310may be held by the user via their digital wallet326by way of address304band private key302that enables authorization and initiation of transactions of the consideration from address304b. Additionally, instructions may be generated to record a transaction328that specifies digital asset310is sent to address304b. Transaction328may be recorded on decentralized ledger118(the same illustrated inFIG.1andFIG.3A).
