Abstract
Techniques described herein are directed to using blockchains to record, manage, and transfer ownership rights to land titles. A method in accordance with these techniques may include: creating a property blockchain that is permissioned, the property blockchain including a chronologically ordered, back-linked list of one or more blocks, the one or more blocks including a genesis block, the genesis block including property attributes including one more of the following: a physical address of the property, a year the property was built, and an owner of the property; and transmitting the property blockchain to permissioned nodes on a network, where the permissioned nodes validate transactions associated with the property that are recorded on the property blockchain.
