A proposal of a new pattern for a Land Registry based on blockchain technology
Abstract
In this paper the author proposes the implementation of a new model of Land Registry, which would run through automatic procedures of algorithmic character exclusively, and without any kind of human intervention. The system requires a property law based on an exhaustive list of rights in rem (numerus clausus) and an abstract system of title transfer, like the German one. The system would be implemented within a private blockchain governed by the Ethereum protocol, or a modified version of the same.
