This activity comprises 1 granted patent from Wazuzu in the Monetization & Business Models category.
Wazuzu's patent covers technology for converting mobile geolocation gameplay elements into tradeable NFT assets that carry real-world redemption value. The system connects in-game rewards with blockchain-based marketplaces, enabling players to trade digital items obtained through location-based gaming.
Wazuzu received 1 patent that creates NFT-backed game rewards with a persistence mechanism uncommon in traditional gaming economies. The system assigns blockchain assets to prizes earned through geolocation gameplay, but the key technical contribution involves how these assets maintain tradeable value even after players redeem portions of the underlying rewards. When a player redeems part of what an NFT represents, the platform recalculates the remaining value based on what hasn't been claimed yet, factoring in the probability of future item additions. This stands apart from conventional game reward systems where items typically lose all utility once consumed or expire entirely after use.
