Background of the Study
Blockchain technology, with its secure, transparent, and immutable characteristics, has garnered significant attention for its potential to revolutionize various industries, including real estate. One key application of blockchain is in the management of digital contracts, which can streamline transactions, reduce fraud, and increase trust in the real estate industry (Sundararajan, 2024). In Plateau State, real estate firms are exploring the use of blockchain to manage digital contracts, enabling more secure and efficient property transactions. This study will investigate how blockchain integration in digital contracts impacts the real estate industry in Plateau State, focusing on transaction efficiency, security, and legal challenges.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential of blockchain technology in enhancing digital contracts, many real estate firms in Plateau State may not fully understand the implications and challenges associated with its adoption. The integration of blockchain in digital contracts may face barriers such as technological limitations, legal concerns, and the need for stakeholder buy-in. This study aims to evaluate how blockchain integration affects the real estate business, particularly regarding transaction transparency, security, and efficiency.
