A Blockchain-based data management approach for swarm-edge computing

Abstract

The rapid evolution of data management in decentralized environments requires innovative solutions to ensure security, accessibility, and efficiency. This paper presents a scientific approach for secure data management in swarmedge computing. The approach leverages DAO, smart contracts, and IPFS to enhance data availability, security, and privacy. It addresses key challenges in integrating off-chain data with blockchain ecosystems. The exploitability of the oracles for data tokenization, smart contracts for metadata mapping and data files based on metadata, and access control are significant contributions from the scientific approach. The proposed approach presents an advanced decentralized, smart contract-driven data management system, integrating non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for data ownership and access rights.
