This newspaper (reporter Zhu Kaiyun) Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned yesterday that Xiong’an has recently built a block This is the first case in China where blockchain technology is applied to the field of rental housing. The platform has been online for nearly a month now. In this government-led blockchain unified platform, the listing information, landlord-tenant identity information, housing rental contract information will be verified by multiple parties and shall not be tampered with. This is expected to solve the core of the rental scene “real people, real rooms, real living” problem.
According to the introduction, in solving another tenant concern about privacy, the information on the blockchain will be encrypted using the most advanced cryptography algorithm, in the use of data, through the cutting-edge “multi-party secure computing”, “zero knowledge proof In the use of data, through cutting-edge “multi-party secure computing”, “zero-knowledge proof” and other technologies, to achieve data available invisible, in order to ensure the security of data and personal privacy.
And this blockchain rental application platform is not a public platform that everyone can log on to, but as a kind of internal management platform.
In fact, as early as September last year, the Xiongan New Area Management Committee released information about the Xiongan New Area’s housing purchase policy, explicitly proposing that property and other related information be stored in the blockchain platform. The Xiong’an New Area Management Committee also mentioned three important areas when describing the framework of “digital Xiong’an”: the personal data account system for citizens, the big data management system for Xiong’an housing leases and the digital integrity application platform.
On February 10 this year, the management committee of the Xiongan New Area in Hebei held a seminar to discuss a new model of housing rental management with housing rental points as an entry point. Bejing News reporter was informed that the housing rental points system explored in Xiongan New Area will use blockchain, big data and other cutting-edge technologies to establish a scientific and effective housing rental points whole life cycle management mechanism from three aspects: housing rental market main attributes, policy incentives and rental behavior, to create a vibrant, healthy, orderly and sustainable housing rental ecology.
This means that in Xiongan New Area, individuals will have their own rental integrity accounts, which record personal rental-related information. On this basis, the government further introduces an innovative system of rental points rules to outline the points individuals earn in the rental sector, thus providing a solid reference basis for public housing resource allocation and social governance.

Why is the rental housing platform introducing blockchain technology
So why is the rental housing platform introducing blockchain technology? Is it just a gimmick or can it practically solve the problems in the rental housing sector? The person concerned introduced that blockchain technology will solve many problems in the field of traditional rental housing. For example, if you use the platform tenants no longer have to worry about meeting a fake landlord and renting a fake house, because when the information on all aspects of renting is recorded on the blockchain, they will verify each other.
It is reported that China Construction Bank, Chain Home, Ant Gold Service and other institutions are involved in the construction of this rental model. Among them, Ant Financial Services is the core blockchain technology provider, while Chain Home and CCB provide services such as property rental information. Public information shows that as early as October 2017, Peng Yijie, vice president of Ant Financial Services, went to Xiong’an to report on the blockchain construction program. Peng Yijie said at the time that Xiong’an New Area, as a city of wisdom in the future, is the best soil for building blockchain. The news of the strategic cooperation between Alibaba, Ant Financial Services and Xiongan New Area also clearly mentioned that the two sides will build the digital Xiongan blockchain infrastructure platform and are expected to take the lead in testing the water in the rental housing scenario. The Construction Bank is the first state-owned bank to be located in Xiongan, while Chain Home has the advantage of housing in Hebei. The introduction of these three combined efforts to build a blockchain rental platform in Xiongan New Area did not come as a surprise to outsiders. But the speed of the launch was somewhat beyond expectations. A participant told BeiJingBao: “We reported from the program to the application of landing only used less than four months.”
This exploration in the field of rental housing in the Xiongan New Area is not only focused on solving the problem of rental housing, its larger goal is to explore a way to say goodbye to “land finance”. The new area must focus on creating an innovative development demonstration area that implements the new development concept, resolutely not to engage in land finance, not to take the old road of real estate led urban development, and strive to explore a new model of urban development and construction operation, and build a new housing security system.
