Service: Blockchain-based Land Registry

Responsible organisation: Kadaster Gemeente Eindhoven (Governmental)

In this second round of blockchain pilots with the government, we looked at and co-designed with a pilot from the municipality of Eindhoven. The Department does not only register ownership of real estate, but also registers and provides geo-information data. Sometimes the data is used in the wrong context, or an outdated set is accidentally used. By applying the blockchain, the Kadaster can immediately specify the most up-to-date dataset by means of a timestamp. It can then be used when filling in a form for environmental law requirements as well as other use cases. All participants can then establish that the data is up-to-date and correct. Providing these open data sets within the blockchain is not a very complicated process, but is therefore suitable to use to build a first blockchain prototype. The Kadaster is also researching work from other countries that are already experimenting with the blockchain and is looking to apply certain elements in the Netherlands.
