Abstract

Systems and methods for operating a bridge server to support multiple shards of blockchains are disclosed. The multiple shards may be used to record ownership rights of in-game digital assets. The in-game digital assets may be usable in an online gaming platform. Exemplary implementations may: execute an instance of a game; maintain user accounts for the users of a blockchain on a first and a second decentralized ledger server; record sets of rights pertaining to sets of digital assets; receive an exchange request for a first digital asset; receive transferal information for the first digital asset; transfer sets of instructions to the first and second decentralized ledger servers such that the first decentralized ledger server removes the first digital asset from the first set of digital assets and the second decentralized ledger server adds the first digital asset to the second set of digital assets.
