What is Blockchain Estate Registry

Blockchain Estate Registry (BER) is a next-generation property registry system aimed at revolutionizing old-fashioned state land and real estate registries, as well as other property registries, to provide a digital environment for peer-to-peer property transactions and automatic registration, through the use of blockchain technologies and smart contracts.

Title tokens

Utilize title tokens to represent property rights
Enable peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries

Blockchain as registry

The blockchain acts as both the medium for transferring ownership and the registry
Transactions on the blockchain do not require further registration in the old registry.

Smart Laws

Introduce Smart Laws for regulation, encompassing standards and protocols of digital governance and public administration
Enable automated verification for transaction compliance, validation, and registration.

Bundle of blockchains

Includes a selection of reliable and secure public blockchain networks
Users have the freedom to choose a blockchain network
Enables a fair market competition among blockchain technologies.

What we offer to governments

We offer governments our expertise to modernize their land registries.

Consultancy

We help governments explore the potential of Blockchain Estate Registry (BER) technology within their jurisdiction. The initial step involves outlining the advantages of blockchain technology and the benefits of BER. Upon request, we develop Terms of Reference for the project and a Roadmap.

Legal Framework

We assist in creating a strategy for the implementation of BER and integrating it into their state registry systems. We aid in developing public policies that harness the potential for innovation.

Develop BER

We can develop and deliver cutting-edge technology for property registries. Starting with a Proof of Concept, and following the approval and adaptation of the legal framework, we can deliver BER, beginning with a Minimum Viable Product and providing its subsequent maintenance and development.

Commerialize

We assist governments in exploring the potential of public-private partnerships for those interested in outsourcing registry and titling services to a private operator. Learn more about how privatized land registries operate in Australia.

Founder, CEO

Oleksii Konasheych, PhD

Dr. Konashevych is the visionary behind the Blockchain Estate Registry (BER). Transitioning from a decade of legal practice, he embarked on PhD research through the international program involving the University of Bologna (Italy), Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain), Tilburg University (Netherlands), and RMIT in Melbourne (Australia). His work culminated in the groundbreaking PhD thesis, 'Tokenization of Real Estate on Blockchain,' paving the way for a new era in land registry systems.

In 2021, his expertise caught the attention of the Australian Senate Select Committee on Fintech and Blockchain, where he presented his innovative concept. His input influenced the committee, leading to a recommendation for the Federal Government to explore a blockchain land registry project.

By 2023, Dr. Konashevych's initiatives had also resonated with Ukrainian politicians, fostering a partnership with the NGO Virtual Assets of Ukraine (VAU) to advance the BER agenda within the country and protect government registries from cyber warfare. As a VAU Board Member, Dr. Konashevych plays a crucial role in driving blockchain innovation in Ukraine.

Dr. Konashevych has authored over 30 papers published in international academic journals and serves as an opinion writer for Cointelegraph and Crypto.news. He also runs the Blockchain State YouTube channel and offers consultancy services through Blockchain State, focusing on digital transformation.
