    I was thinking that with legal backing, blockchain could be a good record of ownership for deeds. Like NFTs but for physical property.

    The history of ownership and the public visibility are good features there.

        In the case of deeds, i think it is desirable because it gives you an immutable history of ownership.

        There are other problems but i don’t believe that is one.

      But with good legal backing, all you need is a shared database and maybe basic cryptographic signatures to prove ownership in case of malicious actors. So basically, traditional banking.

      Lack of reliable, authoritative attribution of changes and no rollback or compensatory transactions are all dealbreakers.
