1. A computer-implemented method for authentication comprising:
accessing a digital ledger;
determining a wallet address for a user, wherein the wallet address is associated with a cryptocurrency in the digital ledger;
encoding, using one or more processors, a digitally mapped value based on the wallet address, wherein the encoding further comprises inclusion of a smart contract and wherein the encoding comprises obtaining an agreement by the user to enable the smart contract;
obtaining an agreement by the user to enable the smart contract, wherein the agreement includes certifying the smart contract, wherein the certifying includes agreeing to specific terms that enable the smart contract, and wherein the agreeing to specific terms includes typing required words into a web-enabled interface;
appending an entry to the digital ledger, wherein the entry includes the digitally mapped value;
crowd-selling the smart contract; and
transferring cryptocurrency from the crowd-selling of the smart contract using the wallet address that was encoded.
