According to one exemplary implementation, a collector container includes processing hardware, an output device controlled by the processing hardware; and a memory storing a digital wallet. The collector container is configured to uniquely store a non-fungible token (NFT) in the digital wallet, the NFT certifying ownership of an NFT asset. The collector container is further configured to store the NFT asset in the memory, and to display the NFT asset using the output device.
BACKGROUND
The technology known as a non-fungible token (NFT) enables individual artists and companies to sell ownership rights to a digital asset, such as a file containing a photo or other image, video, audio, or any other desirable digital representation. The owner of an NFT and its associated asset can access the asset via the cloud, to display to others as part of a personal gallery, or both. However, despite the pride of ownership of a digital asset that owning an NFT may provide. NFT owners at present lack any way of physically engaging with or physically possessing that digital asset.
1. A collector container comprising: a processing hardware; an output device controlled by the processing hardware; a memory storing a digital wallet; wherein the collector container is configured to: uniquely store a non-fungible token (NFT) in the digital wallet, the NFT certifying ownership of an NFT asset; store the NFT asset in the memory; and display the NFT asset using the output device. ||
12. A collector container comprising: a processing hardware; an output device and a wireless communication unit controlled by the processing hardware; a memory storing a software code and a digital wallet; the processing hardware configured to execute the software code to: obtain, using the wireless communication unit, a non-fungible token (NFT) certifying ownership of an NFT asset; receive, based on the NFT, the NFT asset; uniquely store the NFT in the digital wallet; store the NFT asset in the memory; and display the NFT asset using the output device. ||
20. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a processing hardware of a first collector container, instantiate a method comprising: receiving, from a client application, data initiating a secure communication link with one of a second collector container or a personal communication device hosting the client application; receiving, from the client application, an instruction to transfer an NFT uniquely stored in a first digital wallet of the first collector container to a second digital wallet stored on one of the second collector container or the personal communication device hosting the client application; transferring, in response to receiving the instruction from the client application, the NFT to the second digital wallet using the secure communication link; relinquishing the NFT asset to the one of the second collector container or the personal communication device on which the second digital wallet is stored; and recording the transfer of the NFT on a cloud-based secure transaction ledger.
