- Sony Interactive Entertainment recently published a patent that discusses a feature that could supposedly track the distribution history of in-game digital assets, such as cosmetics or even gameplay moments, by assigning unique tokens to them.
- In-game digital assets could potentially track the history of all modifications made, including ownership, visual appearance, or even metadata, by generating blocks that contain information about previous records.
- Players may also be assigned unique tokens to track the history of their actions and/or transactions with other players.
- The patent also discusses tradeable licenses for certain in-game digital assets, such as weapon skins, so that they may be used within the related video game.
- Eventually, the company aspires to decrease fraud between players by making the trade of in-game digital assets as transparent as can be.
