PropertyMatters

Property title secured by Blockchain

Inspiration

Property title document forgery, resulting in the owner going through a lot of stress.

Transferring property in the Czech Republic and many other countries takes a long time.

Property fraud costs a lot & property transfer times are long.

People want their property secured & they want to transfer quickly.

What it does

Our solution uses smart contracts on a blockchain. Goal is to reduce fraud, reduce transfer times & reduce work for the Cadastral Office.

How we built it

We built a smart contract with Solidity and then worked towards connecting that to a UI, as well as working on a sustainable business model.

Challenges we ran into

Connecting JS UI with Ethereum test network. Model still requires trusthed authority for approving property transfer.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning how to code a smart contract including learning online and from mentors.

What we learned

SmartContracts, Solidity, Remix, Truffle Suite, Ganache,...

What's next for PropertyMatters

Presenting and working on finer details and improving UI as well as interviewing relevant parties - including the related authorities - to seek feedback and provide trust in our platform.
