Land records are among the most significant public records, defining ownership, inheritance rights, and mortgage rights. Despite their importance, land registration still largely relies on centralized databases and approval chains. Blockchain technology offers an effective means to address these issues by preserving an immutable chain of records, using cryptographic hashing for every property transaction. This paper presents a blockchain-based land registry system that employs Proof of Work (PoW) consensus and a Dual Signature approval mechanism, ensuring tamper-resistance, verifiability, and mutual consent of all parties. The proposed architecture comprises four layers: presentation, application, contract, and storage. Document hashes are committed on-chain via SHA-256, while both the property owner and a government verifier must sign each transfer before it is recorded. Security analysis shows resistance to tampering, Sybil attacks, and unilateral modification. Implementation considerations using smart contracts, Node.js, React, and MongoDB are discussed, alongside challenges related to energy consumption, privacy, and interoperability.
KEYWORDS
This paper has proposed a blockchain-based land registry system that addresses the core problems of document tampering, ownership exclusion, and limited auditability in current centralized systems. By combining a Proof of Work consensus mechanism with a dual signature authorization scheme, the proposed system achieves an open, tamper-resistant record that is appropriate for long-term land record keeping. Smart contracts and digital signatures create a transparent, verifiable ownership transfer process anchored by SHA-256 document hashes. While operational challenges related to energy consumption, privacy, and interoperability remain, the architecture provides a practical foundation for a more reliable property registry. In property administration, where a single error can affect property rights for decades, immutability and bilateral consent are not optional features — they are the core of systemic trust. Blockchain-based land registry provides both [3][6][4][5].
