PropXchain in the trade press: industry hackathons prove trusted property data sharing

12 June 2026 · PropXchain Ltd

PropXchain has been featured in national trade press — including Finextra, The Intermediary and Money Age — following a series of industry hackathons that put open property data sharing to the test inside the government-backed Smart Property Data Trust Framework sandbox.

The hackathons, hosted by the Open Property Data Association (OPDA) and the Digital Property Market Steering Group (DPMSG), brought together firms including Smoove (part of PEXA UK), PropXchain, ViewMyChain, Sprift and Property Deals Insight to demonstrate how trusted property data can flow across the home-moving process — covering property packs, ID verification, AML and fraud, and completion.

What PropXchain demonstrated

PropXchain connected to the sandbox and retrieved material information and full property pack data over the framework's secure trust rails, with verified provenance attached to every claim. Within the first morning of the hackathon, an end-to-end property pack was flowing through the PropXchain platform — the same data rails available to major institutions, consumed by a three-person startup.

"The sandbox lets a three-person startup plug into the same property data rails as major institutions. That's the power of an open framework — it levels the playing field. Within the first morning, we had an end-to-end property pack flowing through our stack. That speed comes from data you can trust."

Maria Harris, Chair of the OPDA, called the hackathons "a critical step forward for the industry", adding: "The ambition is simple: capture property data once, trust it, and reuse it. That has the potential to transform the entire transaction."

Why it matters for home movers

Property transactions in England and Wales are held back by fragmented data and manual processes — the same information is requested, re-keyed and re-verified at every stage. The Smart Property Data Trust Framework tests the alternative: data captured once at source, cryptographically trusted, and reused across every platform in the chain. That is the model PropXchain is built on — a single shared ledger for the whole transaction, visible to everyone and falsifiable by no one.
