Bergen County to Tokenize $240 Billion in Property on Balcony's Platform, Marking Largest Blockchain Deed Initiative in U.S.

  • On May 28, 2025, Bergen County, New Jersey, entered a five-year partnership with Balcony to convert the county’s entire real estate registry—encompassing hundreds of thousands of property titles valued at approximately $240 billion—into a secure, blockchain-based digital ledger.
  • The county pursued this initiative to modernize legacy property records vulnerable to fraud, ransomware, and administrative errors by leveraging Balcony's Avalanche blockchain platform.
  • This project will create a tamper-proof, immutable, and searchable digital ledger of property titles across Bergen's 70 municipalities, serving nearly one million residents.
  • Balcony CEO Dan Silverman highlighted that their blockchain technology reduces deed processing time by more than 90% and represents a significant advancement for how property and public records are managed.
  • The digitization aims to reduce fraud, title disputes, and administrative costs, setting a model that may support broader national adoption of blockchain-based land records.
