1. A method for providing review content which is verifiable in a public blockchain network, comprising: receiving an identity verification for a user of a review engine; assigning a unique pseudonymous identity to the user based on the identity verification, wherein the unique pseudonymous identity is associated to the identity verification and is unique to the user; receiving an identity verification for a provider on the review engine; generating an authentication token unique to the provider to be displayed on a user client device associated with the user of the review engine, the authentication token indicating an interaction by the user with a product or a service of the provider; in response to the user capturing the authentication token via the user client device, generating a review-in-progress to be displayed on the user client device; receiving a completed review from the user client device; and recording hashed data associated with the completed review into a transaction record on a public blockchain network, such that the transaction record can be publicly audited on the public blockchain network, the hashed data including the pseudonymous identity and a verified identity of the provider.
