São Paulo Court to Pilot Blockchain-Recorded Sale of 10 State Warehouses

The test seeks to curb auction fraud by creating tamper-evident, publicly verifiable records for every document.

Overview

  • All auction documents will be timestamped and registered on an unspecified blockchain to provide an auditable trail.
  • The sale will be run by Nordeste Leilões in partnership with blockchain verification firm InspireIP.
  • InspireIP’s Caroline Nunes says each file will be cryptographically sealed so any alteration is immediately visible.
  • Officials cite persistent problems in Brazil’s auction market, including altered documents, fake sites, and inconsistent records.
  • Organizers frame the pilot within Brazil’s broader push into digital ledgers, with projects such as Tanssi’s blockchain microloans, while the auction date has not been disclosed.
