Land Reg is a prototype land registry built on Council Protocol, a delegated proof of stake consensus designed for Bangladesh's land records.
It is research rather than product: the registry exists to demonstrate the consensus protocol, and the protocol is the contribution.
Problem
A land registry is a ledger whose entries decide who owns what, which makes both its history and its access to that history worth attacking. Transparency, security, and the time a transfer takes are the three things a paper registry is worst at, and they are the three a distributed ledger is usually reached for to fix.
Reaching for a general purpose chain does not fix them on its own, because the assumptions those chains are built on are not a registry's assumptions.
Constraints
The participants in a land registry are known institutions, not anonymous miners. A consensus that spends energy proving identity does not need to be paid for here, and a registry that settles slowly is a registry nobody uses.
That is the condition delegated proof of stake exists for, and it is why the protocol is the research rather than the application on top of it.
Approach
Council Protocol: block generation by a delegated set, sized to the institutions that actually hold registry authority. Around it, the parts a registry needs to be one at all: land owner verification, land registration, ownership transfer, and management of the network the whole thing runs on.
Outcome
A working prototype that demonstrates the protocol end to end, from verifying an owner to transferring the land they hold.
