1. A system for augmented authentication using acoustic devices, the system comprising:
at least one non-transitory storage device; and
at least one processing device coupled to the at least one non-transitory storage device, wherein the at least one processing device is configured to:
generate one or more acoustic device NFT and an NFT identifier for one or more acoustic devices, wherein the acoustic device NFT comprises data about the acoustic device, a user, and a user account, wherein the acoustic device NFT is stored in multiple locations across a distributed ledger for validation;
receive a transfer request including the NFT identifier from the one of one or more acoustic devices, wherein the transfer request comprises a verbal command from a voice command user, wherein the NFT identifier corresponds to one of the one or more acoustic device NFT that is associated with the given acoustic device and a device user, wherein the one or more acoustic devices has a different acoustic device NFT for each different entity holding a user account, wherein multiple entities share the distributed ledger;
compare the NFT identifier with one or more stored NFT identifiers to determine the given acoustic device associated with the NFT identifier, wherein the one or more stored NFT identifiers correspond to the one or more acoustic device NFTs stored on a blockchain, wherein each of the one or more acoustic device NFTs is associated with a unique acoustic device of the one or more acoustic devices;
confirm that the identity of the voice command user matches the device user associated with the acoustic device, wherein confirming the identity of the voice command user matches the device user associated with the acoustic device comprises comparing the transfer request with a voice sample of the device user; and
cause an authentication of the transfer request upon confirming the acoustic device is associated with the voice command user, wherein the authentication comprises transmitting user account information to the acoustic device for execution of a transfer relating to the transfer request.
