Abstract
A computer that provides one or more verified personas for a distributed token (such as a non-fungible token or NFT) of a first user is described. Notably, the computer may provide the one or more verified personas for the first user that are based at least in part on their account(s) with a provider of a secure, virtual private network (SVPN) of the first user. Consequently, the identity of the first user may be known to the provider. However, the one or more verified personas may obfuscate the known identity of the first user when conducting one or more discrete secure transactions (such as a transaction associated with a cryptocurrency or the NFT) using or associated with the distributed token. In particular, the first user may associate or link the one or more verified personas with the distributed token, thereby providing the benefits of privacy and selective (as-needed) identification.
