Abstract
Systems and methods for linking physical items to virtual content. Exemplary implementations may: receive a first request to verify whether a first activation of a first item has occurred; if not, transmit a notification in reply to the first request; receive, from a first user, a second request to effectuate the first activation of the first item and to make particular virtual content accessible to the first user; modify state of a smart contract on a decentralized database such that subsequent requests confirm the first activation has occurred; establish a link between the first item and the first user such that the particular virtual content is accessible to the first user; and responsive to the particular virtual content being accessible to the first user, transmit a second notification in reply to the second request.
