Abstract
A method for authentication of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) includes receiving a validation request for an NFT from an external platform including a smart contract identifier; calculating an authentication score for the NFT based on at least (i) wallet activity associated with a creator blockchain wallet identified based on the smart contract identifier, and (ii) a fraud score of the external platform; and if the calculated authentication score for the NFT is below a predetermined threshold value, transmitting a negative response message to the validation request indicating unsuccessful validation of the NFT, or if the calculated authentication score for the NFT is above the predetermined threshold value, transmitting a positive response message to the validation request indicating successful validation of the NFT and instructing the external platform to execute a smart contract associated with the smart contract identifier.
