Secured Land Registration using Ethereum Blockchain and IPFS

Abstract

The land registration procedures in India face challenges due to fragmented document maintenance across departments, causing delays and errors in verifying land ownership. This study introduces a solution, “Secured Land Registration using Ethereum Blockchain and IPFS,” tailored for India. This study utilizes advanced technologies such as Ethereum blockchain, IPFS, smart contracts, Solidity, and the Sepolia TestNet to address existing system limitations. Integration with Ethereum blockchain enhances security and trust through its decentralized and tamper-resistant features. Smart contracts, coded in Solidity, automate processes, introducing efficiency gains. The Sepolia TestNet acts as a testing ground, ensuring robustness before deployment on the Ethereum network. A significant innovation involves integration with IPFS using Pinata API for decentralized and immutable document storage, addressing challenges related to data integrity and accessibility. This project envisions a future where land registration in India becomes secure, accessible, and efficient. The combination of blockchain, IPFS, and smart contracts provides a user-centric, streamlined, and technologically advanced approach, overcoming traditional method limitations. This research study details the methodology for system implementation, offers a thorough comparison with traditional land registration systems, and presents results, providing insights into the evolution of land registration processes in the Indian real estate landscape.
