Asset registries

Registries every counterparty can trust

A registry is only useful if everyone can rely on it. Block Aero runs aerospace asset registries on the Aviation Blockchain Network, covering proof of ownership, chain of custody, and parts provenance, so buyers, owners, auditors, and authorities all work from one verifiable record. Run your own registry as a service, or join a live program like the AFRA-CAAC Registry.

What we register

Built on records that hold up

Every registry entry is anchored to an asset's digital passport on the network: tamper evident, traceable, and checkable by the parties who rely on it.

TITLE

Proof of ownership

An authoritative record of who owns an asset and when ownership transferred, referenceable when listing on marketplaces such as ILS, so buyers can confirm title in minutes.

PROVENANCE

Chain of custody

A continuous back-to-birth trace of every transfer, installation, and event. The evidence auditors and counterparties need to accept a part without weeks of due diligence.

MSN · ESN · PART

Aircraft, engines, and parts

Dedicated registries for aircraft (MSN), engines (ESN), and dismantled parts (PART), each with its own identity, history, and compliance record.

Registry Manager · Registry as a service

Run your own registry

Standards bodies, regulators, OEMs, and consortia use Registry Manager to operate registries without building infrastructure. Define what gets registered, who can issue and audit entries, and who can see them.

Submit-to-approve workflows

Registry item issuers submit entries. Auditors and registry managers endorse and oversee them before anything is published.

Visibility tiers

Public, semi-private, or private, set per registry and per record.

Public verification portal

Free for anyone. Counterparties confirm a registry entry without an account.

Revenue share

Program operators earn a share per registry item under Registry as a Service partnerships.

Live program

AFRA-CAAC Registry

Compliant USM, from teardown to China

The program creates a controlled, verifiable path for used serviceable material recovered from retired aircraft to return to service on China-registered aircraft. Block Aero is the program's implementation partner and the only overseas compliant parts management platform for it.

Aircraft (MSN), engine (ESN), and dismantled parts (PART) registries run on Block Aero through the program's voluntary participation phase under CAAC Advisory Circular AC-145-FS-017 R1.
