Blockchain Registration Is an Additional Layer of Protection — Not a Guarantee
Registering your property address on the blockchain through PropyKeys is a powerful tool for creating a tamper-evident, timestamped record of ownership. However, it is not a legal guaranteeagainst all forms of deed fraud, and it does not replace traditional title insurance, county deed recording, or legal counsel.

How Deed Fraud Can Still Occur Despite Blockchain Registration
Deed fraud typically occurs through the traditional county recording system, not through the blockchain. A fraudster who forges your signature on a deed and records it at your county recorder's office is operating entirely within the legacy paper-based system. Your blockchain address registration does not automatically prevent this from happening, because county recorders are not yet required to check blockchain records before accepting a new deed filing.
What your blockchain record does provide in this scenario is a powerful piece of evidence: a timestamped, cryptographically verifiable record that your address was registered on a specific date prior to any fraudulent filing. This can materially support your legal case when working with an attorney to reclaim your property, but it does not eliminate the need for legal action.
Additionally, address registration does not monitor your county records for suspicious activity. If you are concerned about active monitoring, you should also consider enrolling in your county's free property fraud alert program, which notifies you when any document is recorded against your property.

Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Risks
The minting process requires the use of cryptocurrency on the Base blockchain network. Cryptocurrency values are volatile and the cost of minting in US dollar terms may vary significantly from the prices quoted on this website. Mint My Property quotes service fees in US dollars and absorbs all cryptocurrency and gas fees; however, we reserve the right to adjust pricing if underlying costs change materially.
Blockchain records are permanent and immutable. Once an address is minted on the Base blockchain, the transaction cannot be reversed. Clients are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all information provided before minting is initiated.
