Big news from California! The DMV has tokenized car titles on the Avalanche blockchain This means better tracking, no more outdated databases, and new opportunities for buying/selling cars, lending, and more! Kudos to CA DMV for taking the leap!

do you have any context or resources on how this came to be? who was the driving force behind it? also, why avalanche? candidly i'm surprised the DMV of all entities (so archaic in ways!) is moving in this direction bc more efficient and accurate used + new auto markets. when do you anticipate we'll see the effects?

My guess: Avalanche Foundation told developers of this program (https://www.oxheadalpha.com/), "If you use our blockchain we'll give you bookoo bucks(AVAX)"

looks like consumers will be able to access the app early next year (no other context as to why California chose Avalanche) https://www.reuters.com/technology/california-dmv-puts-42-million-car-titles-blockchain-fight-fraud-2024-07-30/

I have no context, but would like to learn more about how it happened. Title - cars or homes - is the first use case I thought of when I learned about blockchain in 2017. Surprised because it's a govt entity, and it takes work to digitize everything.
