Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to verifying a communication identifier or electronic address using one or more blockchains. Implementations mint non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that correspond to the electronic addresses and/or communication identifiers. A person or company can communicate with third-party entities via the electronic addresses and/or communication identifiers. A given third-party entity can verify that a NFT that corresponds to the specific electronic address and/or communication identifier the given third-party is interfacing with has a corresponding minted NFT. The existence of such a minted NFT verifies that the specific electronic address and/or communication identifier has been registered with a trusted authority. The third-party entity can then safely interact with the electronic address and/or communication identifier once receiving the verification result.
