Digital and physical asset tracking and authentication via non-fungible tokens on a distributed ledger

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory including a plurality of computer-executable components that are executable by the one or more processors to perform a plurality of actions, the plurality of actions comprising:
• receiving, by an asset management system, data identifying an asset;
• generating, by the asset management system, a first hash of the asset that is identified by the data;
• generating, by the asset management system, a non-fungible token (NFT) that includes metadata that includes the first hash of the asset and the data identifying the asset;
• storing, by the asset management system, the NFT on a distributed ledger;
• receiving, by the asset management system, a request to access the asset;
• in response to receiving the request to access the asset, generating, by the asset management system, a second hash of the asset;
• accessing, by the asset management system, the NFT based on the metadata of the NFT including the data identifying the asset;
• comparing, by the asset management system, the first hash included in the metadata of the NFT to the second hash;
• and
• based on comparing the first hash to the second hash and based on the NFT being stored on the distributed ledger, determining, by the asset management system, whether the asset has been modified.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media of a computing device storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more computers to perform acts comprising:

• receiving, by an asset management system, data identifying an asset;
• generating, by the asset management system, a first hash of the asset that is identified by the data;
• generating, by the asset management system, a non-fungible token (NFT) that includes metadata that includes the first hash of the asset and the data identifying the asset;
• storing, by the asset management system, the NFT on a distributed ledger;
• receiving, by the asset management system, a request to access the asset;
• in response to receiving the request to access the asset, generating, by the asset management system, a second hash of the asset;
• accessing, by the asset management system, the NFT based on the metadata of the NFT including the data identifying the asset;
• comparing, by the asset management system, the first hash included in the metadata of the NFT to the second hash;
• and
• based on comparing the first hash to the second hash and based on the NFT being stored on the distributed ledger, determining, by the asset management system, whether the asset has been modified.
