Systems and methods for minting non-fungible tokens at a point of sale

A system, comprising:

• a smart contract capable of minting a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), comprising metadata reflecting a public number and a hash of the public number and a private number, a scanned product or event code, and an image of the scanned product or representation of the event;
• a server generating a hashed ID based on the public number and the private number from data obtained from the blockchain or an indexed database;
• the server callable via an API to confirm that the hash of the public number and private number obtained from the blockchain or indexed database is equivalent to the hash of the public number and private chain stored as metadata on the NFT.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a system, a transaction hash from a requestor for a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) containing a hashed number, and a public number and a private number from a database for generating a hash of the public number and private number;
• and
• returning a response, by the system, confirming if the generated hash of the public number and private number is equivalent to the hashed number of the NFT indicated by the transaction hash.
