Disclosed are systems and techniques for using blockchain technology to maintain and validate a vehicle ledger. The technique includes receiving, at a master node in the system, a request to update a vehicle ledger associated with a first vehicle node comprising the system. If first criteria are met, the system updates the vehicle ledger, including: generating an updated version of the vehicle ledger using vehicle data stored in a master ledger associated with the master node, and transmitting the updated version of the vehicle ledger to the first vehicle node. If the first criteria are not met, the system forgoes updating the vehicle ledger. The vehicle data corresponds to a first vehicle associated with the first vehicle node. The master ledger is implemented using a blockchain that contains vehicle records for vehicles associated with the system. The blockchain includes a first block including vehicle data corresponding to the first vehicle.
