1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
capturing, by a processor, audience metrics during a digital event;
capturing, by the processor, at least one of facial expressions, gaze, or facial features of each member of an audience during the digital event, wherein the at least one of facial expressions, gaze, or facial features of each member of the audience is captured from an imaging device associated with a corresponding member of the audience during the digital event;
determining, by the processor, a level of audience attentiveness based on the captured at least one of facial expressions, gaze, or facial features;
determining, by the processor, weights for the audience metrics based on at least one of a size of the audience during the digital event, the determined level of audience attentiveness, a rate of audience growth during the digital event, or an amount of side-channel discussions during the digital event;
applying, by the processor, the determined weights to the audience metrics captured during the digital event;
calculating, by the processor, a score assigned to a current presenter during the digital event, taking into consideration the audience metrics and the weights applied to the audience metrics;
generating, by the processor, a non-fungible token (NFT) based on the score assigned to the current presenter, wherein the NFT represents the score of the current presenter;
storing, by the processor, the NFT in a non-custodial wallet belonging to the current presenter, wherein possession of the NFT in a non-custodial wallet possessed by a subsequent presenter grants presentation rights during the digital event;
executing, by the processor, the NFT to select the subsequent presenter;
receiving, by the processor, information associated with a plurality of bidding amounts from a plurality of candidates bidding to attain the presentation rights during the digital event, wherein each candidate of the plurality of candidates bids a corresponding bidding amount of the plurality of bidding amounts, and the information associated with the plurality of bidding amounts is received based on the execution of the NFT;
selecting, by the processor, a candidate among the plurality of candidates as the subsequent presenter, wherein the selected candidate is associated with a highest bidding amount among the plurality of bidding amounts;
electronically transferring, by the processor, currency from a digital wallet possessed by the selected candidate to a digital wallet belonging to the current presenter and one or more digital wallets of audience members attending the digital event;
upon transferring the currency from the digital wallet possessed by the selected candidate to the digital wallet belonging to the current presenter and the one or more digital wallets of audience members, depositing, by the processor, the NFT into the non-custodial wallet possessed by the selected candidate; and
upon transferring the NFT to the non-custodial wallet possessed by the selected candidate, granting, by the processor, the presentation rights to the selected candidate as the subsequent presenter during the digital event.
