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 into a five-year agreement with Balcony to convert nearly 370,000 land ownership documents—representing approximately $240 billion in property value—into a blockchain-based digital ledger.
  • This initiative responds to outdated, vulnerable deed systems targeted by ransomware and fraud, aiming to modernize property records and reduce processing time dramatically.
  • Balcony will use the Avalanche blockchain to create an immutable, searchable digital ledger covering all 70 municipalities and serving nearly one million residents in the county.
  • Balcony CEO Dan Silverman stated blockchain cuts deed processing time by 90%, and Ava Labs' Luigi D'Onorio DeMeo highlighted it offers a tamper-proof source reducing fraud and delays.
  • The project marks the largest U.S. Deed tokenization effort to improve transparency, secure records, and lay a foundation for future nationwide blockchain adoption in property management.
