1. A method for creating a digital certificate and/or a digital certificate of authenticity (COA) for a non-fungible token (NFT) at minting, the method comprising:
a) minting an NFT;
b) transmitting from a server to a user a digital key;
c) receiving a request from a user for a relationship with a creator of the NFT;
d) establishing a registered record for the NFT;
e) authorizing a relationship between the user and the creator subsequent to verification of the user;
f) generating a creator relationship digital key at the server; and converting the registered record to a digital COA with a confirmation using the creator relationship digital key;
wherein the digital COA is based upon a plurality of authentication endorsements and is configured to change state along a continuum of low to high confidence in authenticity based on the plurality of authentication endorsements;
wherein each of the plurality of authentication endorsements are weighted differently, and an authentication endorsement from the creator of the NFT is weighted greater than an authentication endorsement from a third-party.
