Systems and methods for managing digital rights associated with digital objects using distributed ledgers are provided. A digital object marketplace receives a request to access a digital object via an interface provided by the digital object marketplace. The marketplace queries the user's digital wallet for a license token generated by a smart contract for the digital object deployed in a distributed ledger. If the user does not have a license token, the marketplace prompts the user to purchase one. If the user submits a request to purchase a license token, a payment is transferred, using the smart contract, from the user's digital wallet to the digital wallet of the owner of the digital object. Further, the license token is added to the user's digital wallet. This enables the user to access the digital object via the interface.
