Abstract:
In certain embodiments, probabilistic secondary token issuance on a blockchain may be facilitated based on a burning of a primary token of the blockchain. In some embodiments, a blockchain transaction associated with a user may be obtained. The blockchain transaction may indicate (i) an amount of a primary token of the blockchain (owned by the user) to be burned and (ii) a secondary token of the blockchain. Based on the blockchain transaction, (i) the amount of the primary token may be burned, and (ii) a portion of a key space may be allocated to the user. Based on a determination that a hash of at least a portion of a first block of the blockchain corresponds to the key space portion allocated to the user, an issuance of an amount of the secondary token to the user may be stored on a second block for the blockchain.
