The blockchain is already revolutionizing the digital currency landscape. A few years ago, a decentralized currency was unthinkable — how volatile would it be when not backed by a government? However, with the success of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that are supported by the blockchain, people are realizing that it could have far more uses than expected — and the next landscape blockchain has the ability to disrupt is real estate.
Buyers, sellers, and renters of real estate are experimenting with blockchain technology to trim burdensome middlemen from the industry. Precious few real estate transactions proceed directly from provider to client. There are typically notaries, agents, lawyers, banks, trusts, and more in the mix. Even relatively simple issues, like renting parking spaces or charging for utility use, involve intermediaries. With everybody targeting improvement within the different areas, the real-estate world has sought the technology to enable the removable of intermediaries, and most of all tackle the typical challenges of the real estate supply chain issues.
