On the Monetization side, 1 patent centers on a blockchain-based system designed to handle microtransactions involving fractional currency amounts across Web3 and metaverse environments. The system works by converting traditional payment methods into blockchain smart contracts while keeping values expressed in fiat currency, which removes the need for users to manage cryptocurrency volatility or navigate unfamiliar Web3 interfaces. Rather than requiring users to convert funds into Platforms-specific tokens, the approach maintains compatibility across different Platformss through a layer of interoperability built into the contract structure.
