Systems and methods to provide sharing of benefits amongst a group of users based on gains from distribution rights pertaining to digital assets

Abstract

Systems and methods to provide sharing of benefits amongst a group of users are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: effectuate a presentation of an agreement interface for the users to define and/or join group agreements; generate, based on the group agreements, sets of instructions for implementation of the group agreements; transmit the sets of instructions to a decentralized ledger server; receive and executing the transmitted sets of instructions to record the group agreements on the blockchain as smart contracts; record transactions pertaining to the digital assets; responsive to recording the transactions, increase the group account balances by a portion of the earned gains resultant from the recorded transactions; and responsive to an occurrence of at least one of the trigger events specified for the first group agreement, allocate a portion of the group account balance to the group of users.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for benefit sharing, wherein the system includes an online gaming platform, wherein the system comprises:
 a non-transitory memory containing first instructions, wherein the first instructions, when executed by one or more processors of the online gaming platform, cause the online gaming platform to:
 present an agreement interface that displays group agreements between two or more users, wherein the group agreements include a first group agreement, wherein the two or more users:
 (i) contribute future gains to a first group account balance associated with the first group agreement, wherein the future gains result from transactions of one or more particular digital assets, and 
 (ii) share a future allocation of benefits, wherein sharing of the future allocation of the benefits includes at least a particular portion of the first group account balance, and wherein the sharing of the future allocation of the benefits is specified to occur at a pre-determined time; 
 
 receive user input, through the agreement interface, wherein the user input indicates a first user and a second user have joined the first group agreement; 
 generate a set of instructions for implementation of the first group agreement as one or more smart contracts; and 
 at the pre-determined time, effectuating the sharing, in accordance with the first group agreement, of an allocation of a portion of the first group account balance between the first user and the second user such that the allocation of the portion of the first group account balance reduces the first group account balance. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the transactions are recorded on a blockchain. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first group agreement is recorded on a blockchain. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein responsive to a second transaction pertaining to the one or more particular digital assets being recorded and further responsive to the first user earning a second gain based on owning first distribution rights pertaining to the one or more particular digital assets, the online gaming platform is further configured to increase the first group account balance by at least a portion of the second gain. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the sharing of the future allocations of the benefits includes a determination by a smart contract of individual allocations that are shared with participating users, wherein the individual allocations are individually determined portions of the group account balance. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the allocation shared is based on at least one of:
 (i) the gains contributed to the group account balance by individual participating users,   (ii) time spent on the online gaming platform,   (iii) progress within a game on the online gaming platform,   (iv) damage done to another digital asset,   (v) victory within the game, and   (vi) contribution to a goal of the individual participating users.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the allocation shared is determined by evenly dividing the group account balance amongst participating users in accordance with the smart contract. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the sharing of the allocation of the portion of the first group account balance occurs repeatedly at a reoccurring predefined time. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the transactions may be responsive to at least one of in-game victories and one or more of the in-game actions. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the future gains include virtual currency and/or virtual points. 
     
     
         11 . A method to use group agreements between users of an online gaming platform, the method comprising:
 presenting an agreement interface that displays the group agreements between two or more participating ones of the users, wherein the group agreements include a first group agreement, wherein the two or more participating ones of the users:
 (i) contribute future gains to a first group account balance associated with the first group agreement, wherein the future gains result from transactions of one or more particular digital assets, and 
 (ii) share a future allocation of benefits, wherein sharing of the future allocation of the benefits includes at least a particular portion of the first group account balance, and wherein the sharing of the future allocation of the benefits is specified to occur at a pre-determined time; 
   receiving user input, through the agreement interface, wherein the user input indicates a first user and a second user have joined the first group agreement;   generating a set of instructions for implementation of the first group agreement as one or more smart contracts; and   at the pre-determined time, effectuating the sharing, in accordance with the first group agreement, of an allocation of a portion of the first group account balance between the first user and the second user such that the allocation of the portion of the first group account balance reduces the first group account balance.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the transactions are recorded on a blockchain. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the first group agreement is recorded on a blockchain. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein responsive to a second transaction pertaining to the one or more particular digital assets being recorded and further responsive to the first user earning a second gain based on owning distribution rights pertaining to the one or more particular digital assets, the method further comprises:
 increasing the first group account balance by at least a portion of the second gain.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the sharing of the future allocations of the benefits includes a determination by a smart contract of individual allocations that are shared with the participating users, wherein the individual allocations are individually determined portions of the group account balance. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the allocation shared is based on at least one of:
 (i) the gains contributed to the group account balance by individual participating users,   (ii) time spent on the online gaming platform,   (iii) progress within a game on the online gaming platform,   (iv) damage done to another digital asset,   (v) victory within the game, and   (vi) contribution to a goal of the individual participating users.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the allocation shared is determined by evenly dividing the group account balance amongst the participating users in accordance with the smart contract. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the sharing of the allocation of the portion of the first group account balance occurs repeatedly at a reoccurring predefined time. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the transactions may be responsive to at least one of in-game victories and one or more of the in-game actions. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the future gains include virtual currency and/or virtual points.
