Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods that authenticate non-fungible tokens (“NFT”) and/or digital data represented by or pointed to by an NFT. In some implementations, authentication may be with respect to an existing NFT. In other implementations, authentication may be with respect to an NFT that is being created. The disclosed implementations may compare a candidate and/or candidate NFT data with existing NFTs and/or existing NFT data to determine if the candidate NFT and/or candidate NFT data is similar to other NFTs and/or other NFT data of another NFT, which may exist on any of many different blockchains.
