Survey on Blockchain-Based IoT Payment and Marketplaces

Abstract

The ever-growing smart applications will expand the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem to connect over 75 billion devices by 2025. IoT ecosystems comprise sensors that act as data suppliers and applications where monetary transactions are required to compensate the data producers. This signifies the importance of IoT payments and marketplaces to facilitate micro-transactions of billions of connected devices in the IoT ecosystem, which is heterogeneous, decentralized, and diverse. However, realizing such an ecosystem raises multiple challenges such as overcoming poor inter-operability, resource constraints, and security and privacy vulnerabilities of IoT devices and platforms. Blockchain is a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) that can be identified as a potential solution to overcome the challenges in realizing IoT payments and marketplaces. This is due to the characteristics of blockchain such as decentralization, traceability, immutability, and non-repudiation. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on blockchainbased IoT payments and marketplaces. This paper provides a brief introduction to the concepts of IoT payments and IoT marketplaces. Then the technical challenges involved in realizing IoT payment and marketplaces are discussed by highlighting the blockchain-based solutions. Furthermore, blockchain-based smart applications which use IoT marketplace and IoT payment concepts are presented marking the role of blockchain in each of the application. Subsequently, the paper discussed the integration challenges while also highlighting possible solutions. It is envisaged that this paper would shed light on the development of blockchain-based solutions to realize IoT payments and marketplaces.

Student Presence System and Its Development to the Internet of Things A Literature Review

“…[3] Implementation: Implementing the design or design by writing program code according to the selected programming language. [4] Verification: Testing the application program that has been completed by paying attention to the concept of logic to determine whether the application's performance is following system requirements and preventing errors to a minimum. [5] Maintenance allows changes to data, system environment, and usage requirements so that applications can still be developed according to changes that occur.…”

“…It will be a powerful amalgamation of desktop and IoT technologies [27.28.29]. With the continued increase in the use of IoT technology [4,5,6,7,8,9,10], it will make IoT increasingly popular in addition to the Web or desktop App. This is because customers already want a super real-time system to provide data.…”

Digital Hash Data Encryption for IoT Financial Transactions using Blockchain Security in the Cloud

“…The IoT environment incorporates information suppliers, for example, sensors and applications that require monetary exchanges to remunerate information makers. This shows the significance of IoT instalments and commercial centres to work with miniature exchanges across billions of associated gadgets in a different, decentralized, and complex IoT biological system [10].…”

Design and Implementation of Smart Contract in Supply Chain Management Using Blockchain and Internet of Things

“…It is a worldwide process that involves sourcing components from a single location, packaging them, and shipping them all over the world. With each passing day, technological advancements and their benefits invade more of our lives; more government, economic, and social functions, among other things, are accessible via the internet [1]. We bank online, shop online, and log into applications and services to create our digital selves and send data back and forth.…”
