Blockchain technology, combined with well-designed APIs, offers a robust solution for building secure and resilient IoT systems. This guide provides a practical approach to integrating blockchain with your IoT solutions.
Before diving into integration, letâs briefly recap the core components:
- IoT Devices: These are the physical devices that collect and transmit data (e.g., sensors, actuators, wearables).
- Blockchain: A decentralized, immutable ledger that stores data in a secure and transparent manner.
- APIs (Application Programming Interfaces): These define how software components interact. In our context, they enable communication between IoT devices and the blockchain.
