PayPal is taking steps to develop its own blockchain system. They’ve applied for a patent that outlines a way to buy and sell nonfungible tokens (NFTs). These NFT transactions can happen both on the blockchain itself and off it, which means they could involve other systems or platforms.
In this patent application, PayPal explains how users can trade NFTs using a third-party service, although they don’t mention which specific service that is. However, they do mention Ethereum as a possibility for this process.
PayPal is working on a system for buying and selling digital collectibles (NFTs), and this system could work with other services like Ethereum. This patent application is still waiting for approval.
The application was submitted in March, and was published on September 21.
The system can be adjusted in different ways. For example, by distributing governance tokens, which would enable users to do fractionalized purchases and own parts of the NFT. These governance tokens would also grant users voting rights and could then be traded just like regular tokens.
Off-chain transactions can be managed through an omnibus wallet linked to the service provider. This wallet would include both buyer’s and seller’s wallets, making it easier to keep track of off-chain transactions.
The application allows for the use of any type of money, regardless of the currency. In August, PayPal launched its own digital currency called PayPal USD (PYUSD), which is based on the Ethereum blockchain.
