YETU

D&AD New Blood White Pencil Winner 2018

Right now, corrupt organisations around the world steal land from local people using forged documents. This happens because the methods for registering land are incredibly outdated.

Using cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, we’ll make sure this never happens again. YETU (which means ‘ours’ in Swahili) is an incorruptible, encrypted digital land registry.

When any transaction is made using YETU, two blockchains are created. One is a traditional transaction list, the other updates a land registry map. This means users of the currency are continually protecting land, without even trying.

The registry map is visible to the entire, global network, because it’s stored locally on each computer. It secures land now and for future generations.
