11. A method for validating authenticity of a wireless chipset affixed to a physical object and identifying a digital asset correlated with the wireless chipset, the method comprising:
receiving, from a wireless chipset, identification information, wherein the wireless chipset includes:
an adhesive layer disposed on an external surface of the wireless chipset that facilitates affixation of the wireless chipset to a surface of a carrier object,
non-transitory electronic storage that stores the identification information,
a wireless transducer configured to communicate information via a wireless protocol, and
one or more hardware processors,
verifying, responsive to receiving the identification information from the wireless chipset, authenticity of the wireless chipset using the identification information and further wireless communication with the wireless chipset;
determining, responsive to receiving the identification information of the wireless chipset, a storage system address on a remote file storage system associated with the wireless chipset from the identification information, wherein determining the storage system address includes identifying a file in the remote file storage system storing some or all of the identification information;
obtaining a copy of the file in the remote file storage system from the storage system address in the remote file storage system; and
determining, from the copy of the file in the remote file storage system, an identifier of the digital asset on the distributed ledger correlated with the storage system address.
