According to CryptoPotato, the city of Baltimore in the United States invested $225,000 to put real estate records on the chain to solve the problem of vacant real estate. Vacant houses in Baltimore City take 2 to 3 years to foreclose in legal procedures. In order to verify the complete ownership history of the house, municipal officials need to wait for multiple property searches. However, vacant houses may attract criminals and dangerous conditions. Last December, Baltimore City's Expenditure Committee agreed to a blockchain project contract. According to the Baltimore Sun, Medici Land Governance will enter the records of approximately 13,600 vacant properties in the city into the blockchain in a three-year pilot project to establish a database that is safer and more efficient than the system currently used by the city government. Blockchain technology can reliably verify the ownership of Decentraland (MANA) metaverse real estate, while also keeping records for North American real estate. Baltimore City Attorney Ebony Thompson said that the city government will now maintain an unchangeable chain of custody without multiple property searches. In this way, as houses are transferred to new developers and residents, the city government can certify houses more quickly.
