Many of the trends and ideas that shape America come to California first, so it's worth noting that the state has introduced a big tech upgrade at its Department of Motor Vehicles. As Fortune was first to report, the agency is in the final stages of replicating its title database on the Tezos blockchain and expects to launch consumer-facing applications tied to the blockchain within three months.
In practice, this means California drivers will soon be able to hold their car titles as NFTs in their digital wallets and the DMV will be streamlining the cumbersome process of title transfers. Based on comments from the agency's chief digital officer and from the software firm overseeing the project, the initiative sounds serious—and potentially transformative.
