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.

BER in Australia

Upon the submission by Dr. Oleksii Konashevych, the Australian Senate Committee studied the proposal and recommended that the Federal Government launch a blockchain pilot with the land registry. After the government election in 2022, the initiative stalled.

BER in Ukraine

The Association of Virtual Assets of Ukraine initiated the BER project in Ukraine, supported by the Parliamentary Group Blockchain4Ukraine and the Ministry for Digital Transformation. The task force created a demo prototype and is planning to draft a bill in 2024.

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.

What we offer to investors

Global Investment Strategy:

Invest in Blockchain Estate Registry (BER) Solutions to have a global impact.

 

A pivotal infrastructure component, BER leverages cross-blockchain protocol with extensive applications for government and public services. It is the underlying technology for BER, Jurisdictions on Blockchain, the Decentralized Web (DWeb), and proposes an alternative to the ICANN top-level domain (TLD) system.


BER represents a groundbreaking development in the real estate sector, driven by blockchain technology and smart contracts. This innovation promises to transform the market, necessitating advancements that are informed by a thorough comprehension of law, economics, and the potential for automating traditional intermediary services.


Implementing BER requires meticulous efforts in engaging with governments, policymakers, public opinion, and professional associations. The establishment of new policies and legal frameworks is crucial to support the emergence of BER as a pioneering innovation.

BER Author

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.
