Blockchain Solution

Solution Description

Blockchain technology is not only a platform on which the mass of new data derived from smart cities can be safely stored and accessed by those who should have access to it. The chain also may serve as the interoperable platform that gives residents of smart cities greater say in the decisions affecting their hyper-local communities, from budgeting to elections, etc. It may also serve as a reputation management tool, as these cities tend to be chock-full of citizens who demand a certain standard from individuals and businesses when it comes to communal and environmental care.

Use Case

Land & Housing management/company registry management: blockchain-based system could speed up the land registry process, as it would serve as an authoritative record to be referred to when granting or denying permissions.


Departmental transparency: Information from different department could be logged on the blockchain and made accessible through widely accessible apps. A single source of secure, verified information would eliminate much of the confusion and misinformation that arises from the current system of information disseminated via the internet.

If any government department would like to conduct PoC trial or technology testing on the I&T solution, please contact Smart LAB.
