A systematic review of the blockchain of things beyond bitcoin

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term that refers to a digital ecosystem that includes a variety of internet-connected gadgets. It brings the physical and digital worlds closer together, allowing for new applications and services. Blockchain, a distributed ledger technology, has emerged as a potential option for ensuring trust in decentralized networks. Blockchain provides the immutability, verifiability, and trust of a distributed ledger in a decentralized network, which may be helpful in establishing trust in the Internet of Things. However, combining IoT with Blockchain poses a number of difficulties. The application of Blockchain in the IoT is a very new and fast-moving subject. As a result, a thorough literature study is required to comprehend what has been presented on the subject. A comprehensive review with a focus on Bitcoin has just been published. We provide a systematic assessment of current work on Blockchain and IoT in this article, with a wider emphasis on Blockchain platforms than Bitcoin. Our research summarizes what has been done so far in the field of Blockchain and IoT.
