1. A method of integrating a cryptographically secured digital asset into a digital video game application, the digital video game application including code that, when executed, displays a character on a display associated with a user device, the character being operably controlled by a user via the user device and including a plurality of character attributes, the method comprising: (9) (5)

receiving a digital asset identification (ID) code, the digital asset ID code existing together with a unique owner ID code on a distributed blockchain ledger, the digital asset ID code including a code string segmented into a series of code subsets, wherein a first plurality of the code subsets includes data indicative of a plurality of attributes of the digital asset;

providing the digital asset ID code to a virtual object generator;

receiving, from the virtual object generator, a virtual object constructed from the first plurality of the code subsets of the unique owner ID code, the virtual object further including a plurality of object attributes;

representing the virtual object on the display; and

modifying at least one of the character attributes according to at least one of the object attributes.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the virtual object is a virtual shoe or virtual article of apparel. (0)

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the user is a first user, and wherein the unique owner ID code is a code of a second user. (0)

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising modifying at least one of the plurality of object attributes according to an aspect of the digital video game application or accomplishment of the user or character within the digital video game application. (0)

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising modifying at least one of the code subsets of the digital asset ID code according to an aspect of the digital video game application or accomplishment of the user or character within the digital video game application; and (0) (1)

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a digital transfer proposal with a request to transfer the cryptographic digital asset to a second party; (0) (3)

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first plurality of the code subsets includes genotype and phenotype data for the cryptographic digital asset. (0)

8. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one object attribute of the plurality of object attributes is indicative of the rarity of the cryptographic digital asset; and (0) (1)

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of character attributes define how the character behaves, responds, or performs within an environment maintained by the computer or how the character interacts with other characters that are controlled by the application or by other users in a networked environment. (0)

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one modified character attribute includes at least one of character speed, ball control, passing, defense, kicking power, balance, and stamina. (0)

11. A gaming system comprising: (8) (3)

a display; and

a processor coupled with the display, the processor configured to execute a digital video game application that receives a user input to control a virtual character within an environment,

wherein: the character includes a plurality of character attributes that affect how the character behaves, responds, or performs within the environment or how the character interacts with other characters existing within the environment;

the character and environment are both displayed to the user via the display, and wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a digital asset identification (ID) code representative of a cryptographically secured digital asset, the digital asset ID code stored together with a unique owner ID code on a distributed blockchain ledger, the digital asset ID code including a code string segmented into a series of code subsets, wherein a first plurality of the code subsets includes data indicative of a plurality of attributes of the digital asset;

provide the digital asset ID code to a virtual object generator;

receive, from the virtual object generator, a virtual object constructed from the first plurality of the code subsets of the unique owner ID code, the virtual object further including a plurality of object attributes;

display the virtual object on the display; and

modify at least one of the character attributes according to at least one of the object attributes.

12. The gaming system of claim 11, wherein the virtual object is a virtual shoe or virtual article of apparel. (0)

13. The gaming system of claim 11, wherein the user is a first user, and wherein the unique owner ID code is a code of a second user. (0)

14. The gaming system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to modify at least one of the plurality of object attributes according to an aspect of the digital video game application or an accomplishment of the user or character within the digital video game application. (0)

15. The gaming system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to modify at least one of the code subsets of the digital asset ID code according to an aspect of the digital video game application or accomplishment of the user or character within the digital video game application; and (0) (1)

16. The gaming system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a digital transfer proposal with a request to transfer the cryptographic digital asset to a second party; (0) (3)

17. The gaming system of claim 11, wherein the first plurality of the code subsets includes genotype and phenotype data for the cryptographic digital asset. (0)

18. The gaming system of claim 11, wherein at least one object attribute of the plurality of object attributes is indicative of the rarity of the cryptographic digital asset; and (0) (1)

19. The gaming system of claim 11, wherein the at least one modified character attribute includes at least one of character speed, ball control, passing, defense, kicking power, balance, and stamina. (0)
