Key Facts

  • The land registry update uses Bhutan's National Digital Identity wallet for digital consent.
  • Property owners can authorize transfers or title updates through cryptographically secured digital signatures.
  • The use case shows decentralized identity being applied to high-value government records rather than only login or onboarding.

Card Text

The deployment is useful for grounding verifiable credentials because it connects wallet-based consent to land administration, a domain where identity, authorization, and durable records are tightly coupled.
