METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USAGE-CONDITIONED ACCESS CONTROL BASED ON A BLOCKCHAIN WALLET - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013202 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USAGE-CONDITIONED ACCESS CONTROL BASED ON A BLOCKCHAIN WALLET
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and systems for access control to online resources using non-fungible token gating. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The system receives a request from a user device, which may trigger an access control rule with a token-based condition.
- It verifies the token-based condition by checking the user device's wallet address and blockchain data from a first blockchain network.
- If a non-fungible token meeting the condition is associated with the wallet address, it obtains data from a second blockchain network.
- Based on the data from the second blockchain network, it determines that the non-fungible token is not exhausted from previous use.
- The system then processes the user's request and mints a token on the second blockchain to record the usage of the non-fungible token in an access control operation.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Access control to online resources, such as digital content, platforms, or services.
- Secure authentication and authorization mechanisms for user devices.
- Token-based gating for membership or subscription-based platforms.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures that only users with specific non-fungible tokens meeting certain conditions can access online resources.
- Provides a secure and decentralized method of access control using blockchain technology.
- Prevents unauthorized access or usage of online resources.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced security and privacy for online resources.
- Efficient and reliable access control mechanisms.
- Ability to track and record the usage of non-fungible tokens for auditing purposes.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods and systems for access control to online resources based on non-fungible token gating. a request from a user device may trigger an access control rule having a token-based condition. the system verifies satisfaction of the token-based condition based on a wallet address provided by the user device and blockchain data obtained from a first blockchain network confirming that a non-fungible token meeting the token-based condition is associated with the wallet address. it then obtains data associated with a second blockchain network based on the non-fungible token and, in response, determines, based on the data associated with the second blockchain network, that the non-fungible token is not exhausted due to previous use of the non-fungible token. the system then processes the request from the user device and causes minting of a token on the second blockchain recording usage of the non-fungible token in an access control operation.
