The Ethereum platform allows developers to implement and deploy applications called Dapps onto the blockchain for public use through the use of smart contracts. To execute code within a smart contract, a paid transaction must be issued towards one of the functions that are exposed in the interface of a contract. However, such a transaction is only processed once one of the miners in the peer-to-peer network selects it, adds it to a block, and appends that block to the blockchain This creates a delay between transaction submission and code execution. It is crucial for Dapp developers to be able to precisely estimate when transactions will be processed, since this allows them to define and provide a certain Quality of Service (QoS) level (e.g., 95% of the transactions processed within 1 minute). However, the impact that different factors have on these times have not yet been studied. Processing time estimation services are used by Dapp developers to achieve predefined QoS. Yet, these services offer minimal insights into what factors impact processing times. Considering the vast amount of data that surrounds the Ethereum blockchain, changes in processing times are hard for Dapp developers to predict, making it difficult to maintain said QoS. In our study, we build random forest models to understand the factors that are associated with transaction processing times. We engineer several features that capture blockchain internal factors, as well as gas pricing behaviors of transaction issuers. By interpreting our models, we conclude that features surrounding gas pricing behaviors are very strongly associated with transaction processing times. Based on our empirical results, we provide Dapp developers with concrete insights that can help them provide and maintain high levels of QoS.
Web3 is the most hyped concept from 2020 to date, greatly motivating the prosperity of the Internet of Value and Metaverse. However, no solid evidence stipulates the exact definition, criterion, or standard in the sense of such a buzzword. To fill the gap, we aim to clarify the term in this work. We narrow down the connotation of Web3 by separating it from high-level controversy argues and, instead, focusing on its protocol, architecture, and evaluation from the perspective of blockchain fields. Specifically, we have identified all potential architectural design types and evaluated each of them by employing the scenario-based architecture evaluation method. The evaluation shows that existing applications are neither secure nor adoptable as claimed. Meanwhile, we also discuss opportunities and challenges surrounding the Web3 space and answer several prevailing questions from communities. A primary result is that Web3 still relies on traditional internet infrastructure, not as independent as advocated. This report, as of June 2022, provides the first strict research on Web3 in the view of blockchain. We hope that this work would provide a guide for the development of future Web3 services.

Ethereum is one of the most popular platforms for the development of blockchain-powered applications. These applications are known as ÐApps. When engineering ÐApps, developers need to translate requests captured in the front-end of their application into one or more smart contract transactions. Developers need to pay for these transactions and, the more they pay (i.e., the higher the gas price), the faster the transaction is likely to be processed. Developing cost-effective ÐApps is far from trivial, as developers need to optimize the balance between cost (transaction fees) and user experience (transaction processing times). Online services have been developed to provide transaction issuers (e.g., ÐApp developers) with an estimate of how long transactions will take to be processed given a certain gas price. These estimation services are crucial in the Ethereum domain and several popular wallets such as Metamask rely on them. However, despite their key role, their accuracy has not been empirically investigated so far. In this article, we quantify the transaction processing times in Ethereum, investigate the relationship between processing times and gas prices, and determine the accuracy of state-of-the-practice estimation services. Our results indicate that transactions are processed in a median of 57 seconds and that 90% of the transactions are processed within 8 minutes. We also show that higher gas prices result in faster transaction processing times with diminishing returns. In particular, we observe no practical difference in processing time between expensive and very expensive transactions. With regards to the accuracy of processing time estimation services, we observe that they are equivalent. However, when stratifying transactions by gas prices, we observe that Etherscan’s Gas Tracker is the most accurate estimation service for the very cheap and cheap transactions. EthGasStation’s Gas Price API, in turn, is the most accurate estimation service for regular, expensive, and very expensive transactions. In a post-hoc study, we design a simple linear regression model with only one feature that outperforms the Gas Tracker for very cheap and cheap transactions and that performs as accurately as the EthGasStation model for the remaining categories. Based on our findings, ÐApp developers can make more informed decisions concerning the choice of the gas price of their application-issued transactions.
With the development of electric vehicle (EV) technology, EV has become a key component in the future smart grid. Due to the sheer large number of EVs on the road, the emerging vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, which allows for two-way electrical flows between EVs and the power grid, is gaining traction. However, establishing a fair and private electricity exchange scheme has gradually become a critical challenge. The emergence of blockchain technology offers a novel approach for resolving this issue. In this study, we overview the opportunities and challenges of blockchain in the smart grid. Then, we provide a privacy-preserving blockchain-based electricity auction scheme for V2G networks in smart grid. In particular, we exploit PS group signatures to keep the privacy of EVs or charging stations and leverage blockchain to provide automated auction execution. With our mechanism, the identity of EV/charging station is conditionally protected. In case of an emergency, the trusted authority (i.e., the group manager) can open the identity. Meanwhile, we present the security analysis to prove our scheme’s security. Finally, we implement the experiment to evaluate efficiency. The experimental results show that our proposal is efficient and suitable for V2G networks.
With the growth of computing and communication technologies, the information processing paradigm of the healthcare environment is evolving. The patient information is stored electronically, making it convenient to store and retrieve patient information remotely when needed. However, evolving the healthcare systems into smart healthcare environments comes with challenges and additional pressures. Internet of Things (IoT) connects things, such as computing devices, through wired or wireless mediums to form a network. There are numerous security vulnerabilities and risks in the existing IoT-based systems due to the lack of intrinsic security technologies. For example, patient medical data, data privacy, data sharing, and convenience are considered imperative for collecting and storing electronic health records (EHR). However, the traditional IoT-based EHR systems cannot deal with these paradigms because of inconsistent security policies and data access structures. Blockchain (BC) technology is a decentralized and distributed ledger that comes in handy in storing patient data and encountering data integrity and confidentiality challenges. Therefore, it is a viable solution for addressing existing IoT data security and privacy challenges. BC paves a tremendous path to revolutionize traditional IoT systems by enhancing data security, privacy, and transparency. The scientific community has shown a variety of healthcare applications based on artificial intelligence (AI) that improve health diagnosis and monitoring practices. Moreover, technology companies and startups are revolutionizing healthcare with AI and related technologies. This study illustrates the implication of integrated technologies based on BC, IoT, and AI to meet growing healthcare challenges. This research study examines the integration of BC technology with IoT and analyzes the advancements of these innovative paradigms in the healthcare sector. In addition, our research study presents a detailed survey on enabling technologies for the futuristic, intelligent, and secure internet of health things (IoHT). Furthermore, this study comprehensively studies the peculiarities of the IoHT environment and the security, performance, and progression of the enabling technologies. First, the research gaps are identified by mapping security and performance benefits inferred by the BC technologies. Secondly, practical issues related to the integration process of BC and IoT devices are discussed. Third, the healthcare applications integrating IoT, BC, and ML in healthcare environments are discussed. Finally, the research gaps, future directions, and limitations of the enabling technologies are discussed.

The emerging industrial metaverses realize the map-ping and expanding operations of physical industry into virtual space for significantly upgrading intelligent manufacturing. The industrial metaverses obtain data from various production and operation lines by Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and thus conduct effective data analysis and decision-making, thereby en-hancing the production efficiency of the physical space, reducing operating costs, and maximizing commercial value. However, there still exist bottlenecks when integrating metaverses into IIoT, such as the privacy leakage of sensitive data with commercial secrets, IIoT sensing data freshness, and incentives for sharing these data. In this paper, we design a user-defined privacy-preserving framework with decentralized federated learning for the industrial metaverses. To further improve privacy protection of industrial metaverse, a cross-chain empowered federated learning framework is further utilized to perform decentralized, secure, and privacy-preserving data training on both physical and virtual spaces through a hierarchical blockchain architecture with a main chain and multiple subchains. Moreover, we introduce the age of information as the data freshness metric and thus design an age-based contract model to motivate data sensing among IIoT nodes. Numerical results indicate the efficiency of the proposed framework and incentive mechanism in the industrial metaverses.
At present, water resource information management in China is mainly a centralized model, and there exist some problems such as high cost, low efficiency, and data storage insecurity. Blockchain technology provides a good solution which can create an efficient trust mechanism among the links in the process of water resource utilization. It guarantees the security of the data, avoiding the sudden collapse of the central institutions caused by some normal operations of the entire system. Based on a decentralization blockchain, we propose a decentralized water resource information management system for the whole process of “supply-use-consumption-discharge,” which improves the traditional water data storage. Specifically, the monitoring and business data are encrypted by the blockchain and are transmitted using a peer-to-peer network. Moreover, the centralized management mode is changed and part of the management work is dispersed to each node. Thus, decisions and measures can be made and implemented quickly after discovering problems to improve the efficiency of information transmission and management. In addition, two typical blockchain-based application scenarios for water resource management are designed. A blockchain-based approach makes issuing and monitoring water abstraction permits more convenient and obtaining license information more secure and verifiable. A reliable mechanism for tracing water quality ensures the accuracy and reliability of water quality information, enables the detection of locations with inadequate water quality, and clarifies people’s responsibility, thus guaranteeing the water safety of the residents.

Data security or secure storage of medical information is usually a significant concern for the bulk of the population. An efficient healthcare system needs a technology platform to speak firmly and seamlessly. Block chain has been emerging technology for a few years now. The key options of block chain which attract most developers are its immutableness, decentralization, transparency, distributed ledger. We tend to propose a Healthcare Secure Information Storage System (Life Care) that firmly manages personal medical records and creates an interaction between Doctors and Patients. The Life Care system is meant to improve the current systems because it provides interoperable, secure, and effective access for medical records by patients. It provides timed-based smart contract for governing transactions and dominant access to electronic medical records. The security is ensured by using SHA-256 encryption technique with Blockchain to store hash data for providing security, new incentive mechanism that leverages the degree of health suppliers concerning their efforts in maintaining medical records and making new blocks.
Currently, the concept of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has been applied as a solution against the plethora of demands for high-quality computing services. It comprises several essential processes, such as resource allocation, data transmission, and task processing. Furthermore, researchers applied blockchain technology, aiming to enhance the robustness of the MEC system. At present, resource allocation in the MEC system is a very hot field, but there are still some problems in the resource allocation process under the traditional MEC architecture, such as privacy disclosure and so on. Moreover, the resource allocation problem in a blockchain-enabled MEC system will be more complicated, while the mining process may have an impact on resource allocation policy. To address this issue, this paper investigates the resource allocation problem with blockchain-based MEC system architecture. A brand new consensus mechanism: proof of learning (PoL), is applied to the system, which does not waste the computing resources of edge computing servers. Based on this, we modeled the system mathematically, focusing on server processing latency, mining latency, rewards under the new consensus, and total cost. The asynchronous advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) algorithm is used to optimize resource allocation policy. To better capture the long-time trend of the system, the temporal convolutional network (TCN) is implemented to represent the policy function and state-value function in the reinforcement learning model. The results show that the A3C algorithm based on TCN not only converges faster but also is more stable.

There has been considerable advancement in the use of blockchain for trust management in large-scale dynamic systems. In such systems, blockchain is mainly used to store the trust score or trust-related information of interactions among the various entities. However, present trust management archi-tectures using blockchain lack verifiable interactions among the entities on which the trust score is calculated. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based trust management framework that allows independent trust providers to implement different trust metrics on a common set of trust evidence and provide individual trust value. We employ geo-location as proof of interaction. Some of the existing proposals rely upon geo-location data, but they do not support trust calculation by multiple trust providers. Instead, they can only support a centralised system. Our proposed architecture does not depend upon a single centralised third-party entity to ensure trusted interactions. Our architecture is supported by provable interactions that can easily be verified using blockchain. Therefore, it allows a high degree of confidence in trust management by ensuring the actual interactions between the entities. We provide a detailed design and development of the architecture using real-world use case examples. The proof of prototype was implemented on the Ethereum blockchain platform. Experimental results demonstrate that the employment of independent trust providers adequately provides a high degree of trust scores and that the proposed architecture can be used in a real-world environment.

Simulating blockchain technology within the IoT has never been as important. Along with this comes the need to find suitable blockchain simulators capable of simulating blockchain networks within an IoT environment. Despite there being a wide variety of blockchain simulators, not all are capable of simulating within an IoT environment and not all are suitable for every IoT environment. This article will review previously published works and present a list of suitable blockchain simulators as well as a few untested simulators that have the potential to simulate blockchain networks within an IoT environment. A total of 18 blockchain simulators are presented and discussed in this paper. In addition, a comprehensive list of the advantages and limitations of each simulator is presented to demonstrate the best situation in which simulators should be used. Finally, recommendations are made on when each simulator should be used and in what situation it should be avoided.
In the past several years, there has been an increased usage of smart, always- connected devices at the edge of the network, which provide real-time contextual information with low overhead to optimize processes and improve how companies and individuals interact, work, and live. The efficient management of this huge pool of devices requires runtime moni- toring to identify potential performance bottlenecks and physical defects. Typical solutions, where monitoring data are aggregated in a centralized manner, soon become inefficient, as they are unable to handle the increased load and become single points of failure. In addition, the resource-constrained nature of edge devices calls for low-overhead monitoring systems. In this paper, we propose HLF-Kubed, a blockchain-based, highly available framework for monitoring edge devices, leveraging distributed ledger technology. HLF-Kubed builds upon Kubernetes container orchestrator and HyperLedger Fabric frameworks and implements a smart contract through an external chaincode for resource usage storing and querying. Our experimental results show that our proposed setup forms a low-overhead monitoring solution, with an average of 448 MB of memory and 6.8% CPU usage, while introducing 1.1s end-to- end latency for store operation and 0.6s for ledger querying respectively.

Currently, the amount of Internet of Things (IoT) applications is enhanced for processing, analyzing, and managing the created big data from the smart city. Certain other applications of smart cities were location-based services, transportation management, and urban design, amongst others. There are several challenges under these applications containing privacy, data security, mining, and visualization. The blockchain-assisted IoT application (BIoT) is offering new urban computing to secure smart cities. The blockchain is a secure and transparent data-sharing decentralized platform, so BIoT is suggested as the optimum solution to the aforementioned challenges. In this view, this study develops an Optimal Machine Learning-based Intrusion Detection System for Privacy Preserving BIoT with Smart Cities Environment, called OMLIDS-PBIoT technique. The presented OMLIDS-PBIoT technique exploits BC and ML techniques to accomplish security in the smart city environment. For attaining this, the presented OMLIDS-PBIoT technique employs data pre-processing in the initial stage to transform the data into a compatible format. Moreover, a golden eagle optimization (GEO)-based feature selection (FS) model is designed to derive useful feature subsets. In addition, a heap-based optimizer (HBO) with random vector functional link network (RVFL) model was utilized for intrusion classification. Additionally, blockchain technology is exploited for secure data transmission in the IoT-enabled smart city environment. The performance validation of the OMLIDS-PBIoT technique is carried out using benchmark datasets, and the outcomes are inspected under numerous factors. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the OMLIDS-PBIoT technique over recent approaches.

Present-day intelligent healthcare applications offer digital healthcare services to users in a distributed manner. The Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT) is the mechanism of the Internet of Things (IoT) found in different healthcare applications, with devices that are attached to external fog cloud networks. Using different mobile applications connecting to cloud computing, the applications of the IoHT are remote healthcare monitoring systems, high blood pressure monitoring, online medical counseling, and others. These applications are designed based on a client-server architecture based on various standards such as the common object request broker (CORBA), a service-oriented architecture (SOA), remote method invocation (RMI), and others. However, these applications do not directly support the many healthcare nodes and blockchain technology in the current standard. Thus, this study devises a potent blockchain-enabled socket RPC IoHT framework for medical enterprises (e.g., healthcare applications). The goal is to minimize service costs, blockchain security costs, and data storage costs in distributed mobile cloud networks. Simulation results show that the proposed blockchain-enabled socket RPC minimized the service cost by 40%, the blockchain cost by 49%, and the storage cost by 23% for healthcare applications.
Water is a basic and essential natural resource, and its rational allocation plays a key role in environmental and economic sustainable development. Agriculture consumes a large share of water resources, but the allocation of water rights often deviates from water use in reality. Therefore, an appropriate management method for agricultural water rights trading is needed. In this paper, blockchain technology is applied to address the agricultural water rights trading issue. Firstly, an alliance chain and the practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) consensus mechanism are adopted to support a smart contract and application. Then, a trading platform based on blockchain for agricultural water rights trading is proposed. Finally, the role and function of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) in a self-financing irrigation drainage district (SIDD) are clarified. This study provides a secure and stable platform which can reduce the trading confirmation time and support numerous users. The trading process of agricultural water rights is updated to minimize the cost of water rights’ transactions and improve the system’s efficiency.
Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) is a powerful IoT application which remodels the growth of industries by ensuring transparent communication among various entities such as hubs, manufacturing places and packaging units. Introducing data science techniques within the IIoT improves the ability to analyze the collected data in a more efficient manner, which current IIoT architectures lack due to their distributed nature. From a security perspective, network anomalies/attackers pose high security risk in IIoT. In this paper, we have addressed this problem, where a coordinator IoT device is elected to compute the trust of IoT devices to prevent the malicious devices to be part of network. Further, the transparency of the data is ensured by integrating a blockchain-based data model. The performance of the proposed framework is validated extensively and rigorously via MATLAB against various security metrics such as attack strength, message alteration, and probability of false authentication. The simulation results suggest that the proposed solution increases IIoT network security by efficiently detecting malicious attacks in the network.
The lack of digital literacy in the student community is high and depends on the academic background of the student. Although the skills gap can be filled by hiring additional academic staff and improving learning methods, it is obvious that funds or teaching time are not enough to cope with these changes. Our academic effort proposes a blockchain platform maintained by the students, which allows the students to exchange teaching duties and teach each other digital skills. The students adopt the role of the lecturer or the learner and receive reputation points as a reward. The platform is designed by using a gamified type of blockchain technology because it empowers a trustful and entertaining method for the exchange of teaching duties between the students.
With the rapid development of e-commerce systems, the centralized service model gradually fails to meet the needs of SMEs. In the existing centralized e-commerce system, users’ transaction data and reputation scores are stored in a centralized cloud server, which has high storage cost, low processing efficiency, and the data is vulnerable to attacks and leaks. However, the existing decentralized e-commerce systems more than its reputation system to store the average credit score evaluation are receiving unfair evaluations against risk. The system of malicious nodes and no disciplinary measures, is not conducive to system development. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a blockchain-based decentralized e-commerce transaction system. The system commodity information is stored in the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and the returned commodity addresses are stored in the blockchain to enhance the service performance. This paper proposes a reputation evaluation model based on multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), which can effectively resist unfair evaluation and collusion attacks, and proposes an incentive mechanism based on reputation value to reward and punish nodes, thus promoting the good circulation of the system. We implement the proposed system based on Ethereum. The experimental results show that the system has a small communication cost, accurately reflects the user’s reputation value, and has good availability and reliability.
The idea of living in different worlds, starting with cinema, can be seen as the beginning of the virtual world. Because, although limited for a certain period of time, cinema and television, which disconnected the audience from the real world, allowed them to get away from real life and imagine different lives. Later, with the invention of the internet, the power of the computer increased and virtual life continued to be offered to users through websites and games. With the nickname feature, users are able to take their place in the v,rtual world with different identities other than their own has also started. This understanding formed the basis of the understanding of avatars. Especially with computer games, the use of avatars has increased as each user starts to create their own avatar in the virtual world. Big data was created by archiving personal data with social media, and cryptocurrencies and deepfake applications developed by making virtual life more professional with virtual reality/augmented reality were offered to users. In the research, the development of this whole process and the positive and negative effects of Metaverse, which companies such as Facebook, Microsoft, Epic, Roblox, Nvidia, Unity Software, continue to design rapidly, on people and real life are emphasized.
Digital collection and maintenance of evidence corresponding to an accident is of utmost relevance as vehicles become connected and part of Internet of things ecosystem. A conceptual evidence management framework is proposed examining the future of accident investigation forensics in the era of connected vehicles. The framework discusses how evidence generated from vehicles involved in incident along with supporting evidence from nearby vehicles CCTVs and road users can be collected and managed over blockchain using smart contracts in a vehicle to everything connected environment. The management of evidence over blockchain serves as an immutable and auditable means to investigate and settle cases post an accident among the stakeholders. Dynamic access control over evidence data and reports based on location of incident and vehicle involved is implemented with the help of smart contracts. The cost of deploying and carrying out transactions using the smart contracts is evaluated over both public and private Ethereum blockchain. Mechanism and cost involved in storing evidence on chain versus off chain using Inter Planetary File System in most optimised manner saving memory and execution cost is compared and presented. The smart contract codes are deployed on Rinkeby test network and can be accessed using address mentioned.
With the development of mobile edge computing (MEC) and blockchain-based federated learning (BCFL), a number of studies suggest deploying BCFL on edge servers. In this case, resource-limited edge servers need to serve both mobile devices for their offloading tasks and the BCFL system for model training and blockchain consensus in a cost-efficient manner without sacrificing the service quality to any side. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a resource allocation scheme for edge servers, aiming to provide the optimal services with the minimum cost. Specifically, we first analyze the energy consumed by the MEC and BCFL tasks, and then use the completion time of each task as the service quality constraint. Then, we model the resource allocation challenge into a multivariate, multi-constraint, and convex optimization problem. To solve the problem in a progressive manner, we design two algorithms based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) in both the homogeneous and heterogeneous situations with equal and on-demand resource distribution strategies, respectively. The validity of our proposed algorithms is proved via rigorous theoretical analysis. Through extensive experiments, the convergence and efficiency of our proposed resource allocation schemes are evaluated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to investigate the resource allocation dilemma of edge servers for BCFL in MEC.

The increase of the Internet of Things (IoT) calls for secure solutions for industrial applications. The security of IoT can be potentially improved by blockchain. However, blockchain technology suffers scalability issues which hinders integration with IoT. Solutions to blockchain’s scalability issues, such as minimizing the computational complexity of consensus algorithms or blockchain storage requirements, have received attention. However, to realize the full potential of blockchain in IoT, the inefficiencies of its inter-peer communication must also be addressed. For example, blockchain uses a flooding technique to share blocks, resulting in duplicates and inefficient bandwidth usage. Moreover, blockchain peers use a random neighbor selection (RNS) technique to decide on other peers with whom to exchange blockchain data. As a result, the peer-to-peer (P2P) topology formation limits the effective achievable throughput. This paper provides a survey on the state-of-the-art network structures and communication mechanisms used in blockchain and establishes the need for network-based optimization. Additionally, it discusses the blockchain architecture and its layers categorizes existing literature into the layers and provides a survey on the state-of-the-art optimization frameworks, analyzing their effectiveness and ability to scale. Finally, this paper presents recommendations for future work.

The undertaking means to work with quick and secure installment handling of school expenses utilizing block chain innovation. These days understudies were approached to pay school expenses in various techniques, for example, cash, charge card, check and request draft. These sorts of exchanges need a middle to move sum from the trader to recipient. The middle is the bank for this situation. Conventional installment frameworks include focal specialists like the national bank, business banks and government. These strong mediums can handle every one of your activities and have full control of all data through their own frameworks. Much of the time the exchanges might try and come up short. Between making buys, covering bills, enacting cards, etc, 80% of banking communications spin around installments. The typical client interfaces with their bank no less than two times every day for installment related matters, making it the main financial movement that includes different cooperations daily. These issues have driven us take up this task. In this theory, we propose a decentralized school expense exchange techniques utilizing block chain innovation. A block chain is generally a public dispersed record of the record of all exchanges that has been achieved and divided between contributing gatherings and it requires no moderate to move the cash. Every exchange in the public record is confirmable by the member in the framework. Every exchange in block chain contains a list, timestamp and information. Blockchain installment frameworks give more noteworthy security and straightforwardness to the clients and organizations across the world. This is on the grounds that all exchanges should be visible openly and can't be adjusted whenever they are coded into the framework. Blockchain ordinarily is secure once it's in the framework. In this way, there aren't any additional securities that are fundamental for the framework so it's a lot less expensive than the conventional installment framework. In a blockchain installment framework, there aren't any supervisors or workers. There's just a local area of individuals who all together and go by rules on the stage. Hence, costs are decreased and there are lower commission charges.
