The Raipur Metropolitan Corporation (RMC) has partnered with Airchains, a multichain zk-FHE protection measured framework to incorporate blockchain technology into its governance framework. This pioneering move will see the digital recording of Building Permission Certificates, work orders, and colony development permissions, denoting the first use case of Zero-Knowledge Completely Homomorphic Encryption (zk-FHE) in governance.
The initiative will begin with issuing Building Permission Certificates and consolidating Blockchain QR codes across all zones under the Raipur Metropolitan Corporation. In the future, this technology will be expanded to include multiple other departments for certification.
What Is The Purpose of This Blockchain-Enabled Governance System?
Integrating blockchain technology into Raipur’s governance systems aims to enhance transparency, reduce corruption, and improve the efficiency of administrative processes. By leveraging zk-FHE, the RMC ensures that information is secured as private, taking into account verifiable computations without compromising sensitive information.

This sophisticated framework rolled out via Airchains, ensures the encryption and security of all sensitive certificate information throughout its lifecycle. Using zk rollups, the system efficiently batches and processes transactions, significantly enhancing throughput and reducing operational costs. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) guarantee certificate verifiability without compromising information protection, fostering trust and transparency in the issuance process.
Over the past two years, between April 1, 2022, to Walk 31, 2024, RMC has approved over 8,300 Structure Permission Certificates. Yearly, 15 to 20 Colony Completion Certificates are recorded, and work orders generating revenue of over INR 1 crore are issued from approximately 40 to 60 work orders yearly.
What Do Experts Have To Say About Blockchain-Enabled Governance System?
Abhinash Mishra, IAS and Commissioner, Raipur Metropolitan Corporation, expressed his enthusiasm for this initiative, stating, “Raipur is committed to progressive governance, and the adoption of blockchain technology represents a significant step forward in our mission to enhance transparency and efficiency.
We are delighted to partner with Airchains in this endeavor, as their expertise in blockchain technology will help us reduce equivocalness and corruption, ensuring a more trustworthy and effective governance system.”
Airchains, a leading blockchain solutions provider for protection preserving frameworks, with its easy fitting and play model is enabling this ease of adoption of Web3 for large use cases across different sectors. The company’s innovative way to deal with integrating zk-FHE will provide a secure and transparent stage for dealing with RMC’s records.
Ankur Rakhi Sinha, Fellow benefactor and CEO of Airchains commented on the partnership, saying, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Raipur Civil Corporation to bring our advanced blockchain technology to their governance systems.
