BenBen is a blockchain-powered digital land transaction platform that creates trust and secure land titles for people in Ghana.
BenBen is a private sector platform that integrates land registry, land information, and fintech to provide digital land transaction solutions to emerging market economies. Land is registered on the blockchain-powered platform, and the information can then be digitally shared with financial institutions and banks, allowing landowners to access a host of financial products and finance further investment in their land. The land records uploaded onto the platform are provided by the land sector agencies, which are given an API key to the BenBen platform, enabling them to access the data.
This solution was featured in Unchaining Land Rights market of the 2018 Global Opportunity Report, and was selected based on the criteria of that report.
