Abstract
Systems and methods to provide utilities based on blockchain-specific populations of unique digital articles in an online gaming platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; manage user accounts, including a first user account having a first account inventory that includes a first unique digital article; receive a first recordation request to record ownership of the first unique digital article on a first decentralized ledger; determine a size of a set or population of unique digital articles that include the first unique digital article; determine a fraction of the set or population of unique digital articles recorded on the first decentralized ledger; receive a first reward request for a first reward; compare the determined fraction with a threshold value; based on the comparison, provide either the first reward or else provide no award or a smaller award.
