Adoption of Blockchain Technology in Land Registry Systems

Abstract

The adoption of blockchain technology in land registry systems has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to increase efficiency, transparency, and security. This paper provides an overview of the current state of land registry systems and the challenges they face, in-cluding issues related to fraud, corruption, and a lack of trust. Then it discusses how blockchain technology can address these challenges by providing a decentralized, tamper-proof, and transparent platform for recording land transactions. The paper also examines some of the existing blockchain-based land registry systems and their features, using approaches and methodologies, including the use of smart contracts and digital signatures. Finally, the paper discusses the potential benefits and limitations of adopting blockchain technology in land registry systems and provides recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders interested in implementing these systems. © 2023 IEEE.
