1. A system configured to enable administrators to incentivize particular in-game user activities via group agreements that govern user groups within an online game, wherein the group agreements commit disbursement of group account balances to the users within the user groups, the system comprising:
one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
effectuate presentation of an administrative agreement interface that enables administrators to:
(a) define new group agreements to be formed,
(b) define formation incentives responsive to formation of the new group agreements,
(c) select users that are prospective participants for the new group agreements as defined,
(d) select proposed activities for the user groups,
(e) initiate transmission of formation proposals and activity proposals to client computing platforms associated with the users that are prospective participants, wherein the formation proposals correspond to the new group agreements, wherein the activity proposals correspond to the proposed activities, such that:
(i) a given formation proposal proposes formation of a given group agreement between a given set of users that are prospective participants for the given group agreement, and a given formation incentive, and further such that:
(ii) a given activity proposal proposes a given set of activities to users of a given user group;
effectuate, via an online gaming platform, presentation of the formation proposals and the activity proposals such that the given formation proposal is presented to the given set of the users and the given activity proposal is presented to the users of the given user group;
receive, from client computing platforms associated with the users that are prospective participants, indications of acceptance to form the new group agreements such that a given indication of acceptance is received from a client computing platform associated with a user from the given set of users to form the given group agreement in accordance with the given formation proposal;
generate sets of instructions to form the new group agreements as smart contracts such that a given set of instructions is generated to form the given group agreement as a given smart contract;
transfer the given set of instructions to a decentralized ledger server such that the given smart contract is recorded on a blockchain implemented by the decentralized ledger server;
provide, subsequent to generation of the given set of instructions, the given formation incentive to the given set of the users in accordance with the given formation proposal;
receive, from the online gaming platform, particular information that indicates execution of the given set of the activities by the users of the given user group; and
disperse, responsive to the receipt of the particular information, at least some of the group account balances to the users of the given user group in accordance with the given group agreement; and
the decentralized ledger server comprising one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
receive and execute the sets of instructions to record the new group agreements on the blockchain as the smart contracts such that the given set of instructions is received and executed to record the given smart contract on the blockchain.
