NFT Identity System for Crypto Wallet Patent Application
Summary
The USPTO published patent application US20260111875A1 on April 23, 2026, filed October 31, 2025, covering an NFT identity system for crypto wallets. The system allows users to associate a non-fungible token stored in a crypto wallet with their application identity, then display the NFT as a visual overlay — either superimposing it over the user's face or using it as a video background — during application use. The NFT can be processed to crop out facial features for registration with the user's actual face. Inventors are Yu Jiang Tham, Andrés Monroy-Hernández, and Ana Maria Cardenas Gasca.
“A system and associated methods display on a user device a non-fungible token (NFT) in an application that displays video data.”

What changed
The USPTO published a patent application covering a system for displaying non-fungible tokens from a crypto wallet as identity markers within applications that display video data. The system stores user NFTs in a connected database, associates them with application user IDs, and allows the NFT to be selected during use to either superimpose over the user's face or serve as a video background. The crypto wallet connects to the application via a web interface. Affected parties in the NFT, blockchain, digital identity, and video authentication sectors should monitor this filing as it may indicate USPTO's approach to patenting blockchain-native identity verification methods.
This patent application has no immediate compliance implications but may be relevant to firms developing NFT-based identity verification systems, crypto wallet providers adding identity features, and video authentication platforms exploring blockchain integration. The filing demonstrates continued patent activity at the intersection of NFTs, crypto wallets, and digital identity verification.

Abstract
A system and associated methods display on a user device a non-fungible token (NFT) in an application that displays video data. The methods include storing the NFT of a user in a database accessible to the application, associating an ID of the user for the application to the NFT, and receiving a selection of the NFT during use of the application. Upon selection, the selected NFT is provided to the user device for superimposing the selected NFT over the user’s face, providing the selected NFT as a background image for the video data on the user device, or both. The user device includes a web application that connects the database to a crypto wallet containing the NFT. The NFT may be processed to crop out the eyes and mouth of the NFT for registration with the user’s eyes and mouth when the NFT is superimposed over the user’s face.
