Abstract

The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating and maintaining tokenized assets associated with a user account of a content management system. In particular, the disclosed systems can facilitate generating tokenized assets from content items within a content management system. In addition, the disclosed systems can identify tokenized assets associated with a user account within a content management system for facilitating access to gated content. For example, the disclosed systems can generate and provide a digital passport that serves as a centralized location for accessing and managing tokenized assets associated with a user account.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
synchronizing, utilizing a content management system, a plurality of digital content items using a storage structure maintained by the content management system across multiple client devices associated with a user account;
analyzing interactions of one or more user accounts with a first content item and a second content item from the plurality of digital content items;
generating, based on analyzing the interactions with the first content item and the second content item, a recommendation to mint the first content item as a tokenized asset;
providing the recommendation to mint the first content item for display within an asset creation interface comprising selectable elements for defining asset data for minting the tokenized asset from the first content item;
minting the tokenized asset from the first content item by causing, via the content management system and according to the asset data defined via the asset creation interface, conversion of the first content item into tokenized content stored on a blockchain and associated with a user account using a blockchain key;
generating, via the content management system, a visual representation of the tokenized asset; and
providing the visual representation of the tokenized asset for display within a content management interface on a client device associated with the user account.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein minting the tokenized asset from the first content item comprises utilizing the content management system to convert the first content item into the tokenized content stored on the blockchain.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the first content item to include within the tokenized asset to an asset minting system for minting the tokenized asset by converting the first content item into the tokenized asset stored on the blockchain and associated with the user account.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining tokenized asset data associated with the tokenized asset, the tokenized asset data comprising ownership information indicating the user account associated with the tokenized asset, creator information indicating a user account of a creator of the tokenized asset, ledger history indicating historical transfers of the tokenized asset between one or more owner accounts, and further comprising a storage location indicator specifying a storage location of the tokenized asset within a blockchain block explorer; and
providing the tokenized asset data for display on the client device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an indication from the client device to add a content item to the plurality of digital content items maintained across the multiple client devices associated with the user account of the content management system;
in response to the indication to add the content item, determining that the content item is included in a new tokenized asset associated with the user account;
in response to determining that the content item is included in a new tokenized asset, determining tokenized asset data for the new tokenized asset, the tokenized asset data comprising ownership information, creator information, ledger history, and a storage location indicator; and
providing a visual representation of the tokenized asset together with the tokenized asset data for display on the client device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing, for display within a content management interface of the content management system presented on the client device, a wallet connection option selectable to connect a tokenized asset wallet within the content management system; and
based on a user interaction selecting the wallet connection option, adding a tokenized asset wallet associated with the user account of the content management system for enabling access to tokenized assets within the tokenized asset wallet by the user account of the content management system.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the recommendation to mint comprises an asset creation interface further comprising data entry fields for entering tokenized asset data, the tokenized asset data including a description, a price, a number of tokenized assets to mint from the first content item, royalties, and a price curve.

8. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
synchronize, utilizing a content management system, a plurality of digital content items using a storage structure maintained by the content management system across multiple client devices associated with a user account;
analyze interactions of one or more user accounts with a first content item and a second content item from the plurality of digital content items;
generate, based on analyzing the interactions with the first content item and the second content item, a recommendation to mint the first content item as a tokenized asset;
provide the recommendation to mint the first content item for display within an asset creation interface comprising selectable elements for defining asset data for minting the tokenized asset from the first content item;
generate, via the content management system, a visual representation of the tokenized asset;
mint the tokenized asset utilizing the content management system by converting the first content item into tokenized content stored on a blockchain and associated with a user account using a blockchain key; and
provide the visual representation of the tokenized asset for display within a content management interface on a client device associated with the user account.

9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
generate an asset voucher for the tokenized asset utilizing the blockchain key associated with the user account;
provide the visual representation of the tokenized asset for display within a tokenized asset marketplace for purchasing the asset voucher; and
based on receiving an indication to purchase the asset voucher via the visual representation within the tokenized asset marketplace, cause the tokenized asset to be minted using the blockchain and the blockchain key.

10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to delay a minting cost associated with minting the tokenized asset until the asset voucher is purchased and the tokenized asset is minted.

11. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to facilitate access to the tokenized asset by third party systems outside of the content management system.

12. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to provide, for display within an asset creation interface, a content item selection portion comprising selectable options for a user to indicate one or more content items to include with a tokenized asset and an option to add a cover image that masks an actual visual content of the tokenized asset.

13. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to provide the tokenized asset for purchase via a third party tokenized asset marketplace outside of the content management system.

14. The system of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one process
