Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for metaverse authentication using NFTs. An authentication setup request for an NFT can be received from an owner of the NFT. Then, a unique authentication credential for the NFT can be requested from an NFT smart contract. In response, URL of an edge wallet associated with an owner of the unique authentication credential is received. Then, a request can be sent to the URI of the edge wallet for the unique authentication credential. In response, a signed challenge is received from the edge wallet and a public key is retrieved from the NFT. A signature of the signed challenge is determined to be valid based at least in part on the public key, and access to an asset or resource is configured based at least in part on the signature of the signed challenge being valid.
