Systems and methods of verifying utilization of a blockchain registered container at POS are presented. In one exemplary embodiment, a method is performed by a POS system having a sensing device operable to sense an identifier specific to a container configured to transport items after checkout. The POS system is communicatively coupled to a blockchain network that includes network nodes that are collectively configured to operate a blockchain. The container identifier is specific to a cryptographic digital asset stored on the blockchain as a container identifier code. Further, the cryptographic digital asset includes a user identifier code, with the container identifier code and the user identifier code being included in a transaction entry of a block on the blockchain that is associated with the cryptographic digital asset. The method includes sending, to the blockchain, a request for block data associated with the cryptographic digital asset based on the container identifier.
