Tokenized media content management

A system and method for performing a verification process of media content comprising, for example, receiving, via a digital vault, identification information from a non-fungible token (NFT) creator user or owner user of an NFT, wherein the NFT creator user initiates a minting process that creates the NFT for exchange on an NFT marketplace of the digital vault, and wherein the NFT is associated with a container file comprising media content submitted by a first user; verifying, via the digital vault, the identification information from the NFT creator user by comparing the identification information with stored user information at the digital vault; transmitting, via the digital vault, a confirmation code to the NFT creator user; and upon receiving the confirmation code, providing diligence information during a verification process to an NFT collector user in the NFT marketplace of the digital vault in verifying authenticity of the NFT creator user.
