We make digital land titles possible
About Torrens
An open standard for digital land titles
Torrens is an open standard that enables land authorities to issue secure, programmable digital land titles on blockchain. These tokenised titles unlock a faster, more affordable, and more transparent property market—reducing transaction times, enabling fractional ownership, and opening access to global lenders and investors.
Land authorities stay in full control. They decide who can issue, trade, or revoke tokens, ensuring compliance with local laws and maintaining market integrity. Torrens runs alongside existing land registration systems and integrates seamlessly with financial and regulatory processes.
With Torrens, governments can automate common property transactions, attach trusted third-party data to digital titles, and provide regulators with real-time insight into the health of the property market. It's a new era of land registration—designed for innovation, security, and inclusivity.
Key Features
Torrens offers secure property tokenization, dynamic market management, and seamless integration with existing land registries.
01
Simple Property Tokenization
Torrens makes it easy to convert traditional land titles into secure, blockchain-based digital tokens. Property owners submit a simple online application, which land registry caseworkers review using an integrated workflow system. Once approved, a digital title is issued as a token—instantly creating a programmable, transferable proof of ownership that can interact with lending platforms, marketplaces, and compliance tools.
The benefits are transformative. Tokenised titles can unlock equity, enable fractional ownership, reduce settlement times, and lower costs for buyers, sellers, and lenders alike. What once took months can happen in days or even minutes—making real estate more accessible, efficient, and investment-ready.
02
Transparent control
Torrens is designed with land authorities at the core. Every tokenised title is issued, reviewed, and governed by the land registry, ensuring full compliance with national laws, tax regimes, and ownership regulations. Authorities retain control over every aspect of the tokenisation process—including who can apply, who can invest, and under what conditions tokens can be revoked or restricted.
Advanced policy controls are built into the protocol, allowing land registries to maintain transparency and safety in real-time. They can restrict lending or trading to approved participants, enforce KYC/AML requirements, and ensure markets operate in a way that serves the public good. With Torrens, land registries gain powerful new tools without giving up authority.
03
Seamless Integration
Torrens runs alongside existing land registration systems—whether paper-based, digital, or in transition. There’s no need to replace legacy infrastructure. The platform is modular, standards-based, and easy to configure with local rules and processes, making it practical to trial and scale on your terms.
Just as importantly, Torrens supports innovation. It offers developer-friendly APIs that allow PropTech startups, banks, and data providers to build powerful applications—like real-time valuations, automated lending, or market analytics—on top of secure digital titles. Trusted third parties can attach verified data to properties, enabling richer insights and smarter services. Torrens isn’t just a registry upgrade—it’s a platform for an open, collaborative property ecosystem.
