Last May, Bergen County and Hoboken-based Balcony forged an agreement under which the company would digitize 370,000 property deeds for the clerk’s office. The two parties said the move represented the largest blockchain-based deed tokenization project in U.S. history. Bergen is New Jersey’s most populous county, with nearly 1 million residents. It generates $500 million in annual property tax revenue.

Tokenizing the data offers a tamper-proof, fully digitized and searchable chain of title. In addition to cutting processing times – by more than 90%, according to Balcony – the move reduces the risk of fraud, title disputes and administrative errors.

Speaking during the event, Balcony CEO Dan Silverman characterized the collaboration as “a turning point for real estate and public records systems.”

In this edition of NJBIZ Conversations, Silverman explains how he moved from real estate development into technology, the advantages of Balcony’s system and where the company goes from here.
