Using Open Source And Blockchain To Build Decentralised Iot Networks
OpenSource For U, Wednesday, February 12th, 2025
Explore how blockchain is being integrated with IoT to create decentralised networks. Find out how leading open source projects like IOTA and Streamr use blockchain to ensure data integrity, security, and privacy in IoT ecosystems.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionised how devices interact, communicate, and collect data, powering everything from smart homes and healthcare devices to autonomous vehicles and industrial automation systems. By 2030, over 50 billion devices are expected to be connected to the internet, producing an unprecedented volume of data. However, as the number of connected devices grows, the challenges associated with centralised IoT systems have become more apparent: security vulnerabilities, lack of privacy, data manipulation risks, and scalability issues.
