About the Client
The client is a government agency responsible for managing land records and property ownership in a densely populated region. They sought to modernize their land registry system to improve transparency, security, and accessibility for citizens while reducing fraudulent activities.
Business Challenge
The client faced several challenges:
- Fraudulent Transactions: A lack of transparency in land records led to disputes and fraud.
- Inefficient Processes: Manual record-keeping was slow, error-prone, and difficult to update.
- Limited Accessibility: Citizens struggled to access and verify property ownership records.
- Costly Disputes: Frequent legal disputes over property ownership drained resources and delayed projects.
To address these issues, the client needed a secure, transparent, and accessible solution for managing land records.
Technologies Involved
We developed the solution using:
- Blockchain Technology: Ethereum-based private blockchain for immutable and secure record-keeping.
- Smart Contracts: Automated the verification and transfer of property ownership.
- Cloud Hosting: AWS for reliable and scalable storage of off-chain data.
- API Integration: REST APIs for integration with existing government systems and third-party services.
- User Interface (UI): ReactJS for a user-friendly and accessible portal.
Process Overview
1. Requirements Analysis
- Collaborated with the client to identify key pain points and critical requirements.
- Defined use cases such as property ownership verification, transaction history, and compliance tracking.
2. Blockchain Design
- Designed a private blockchain network to store immutable land registry data.
- Implemented smart contracts for automating property transactions and ensuring compliance.
3. System Integration
