# Web3 Automotive Security Platforms CarrChain Stores Automotive Ownership on the Blockchain By Colin Smith | Published 2022-10-13 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrchain References: [carrchain](https://carrchain.com/)  'CarrChain' is an upcoming technology startup in the [blockchain security industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockchain-visibility-engine). The company aims to leverage the transparency and security of the blockchain to transform the way automotive owners authenticate their ownership. The core service of CarrChain transforms a [vehicle identification number](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-transaction) (VIN) into a digital vehicle authentication number (DVIN) backed up on the blockchain. This DVIN then connects to the ownership, service sheets, and other key automotive documents, to store each on a unique blockchain identity. This information is then accessible conveniently from the CarrChain application, where users can view their maintenance activities, and important automaker notices such as recalls, monitor the current market value of their vehicle, and view their personal authentication documents such as registration and insurance. This is a convenient way to safely store all of the necessary files associated with car ownership, making it quickly accessible when it is needed, such as when at the DMV or the mechanic.
