Some people once believed that the Internet of Things is the foundation of the era of big data.
The author believes that blockchain technology is the foundation of the Internet of Things era.
Application Scenario Analysis
A possible application scenario is: by Transaction
generating corresponding behaviors, assigning an address to each device Address
, injecting a certain fee into the address, and performing related actions, so as to achieve the application of the Internet of Things. Something like: PM2.5监测点
data fetching, 服务器
leasing, 网络摄像头
data calling, DNS服务器
etc.
IBM
IBM has been investing decades in research and development in the field of IoT, and is currently exploring the use of blockchain technology to reduce the cost of IoT applications.
In early 2015, IBM and Samsung announced a partnership to develop the ADEPT system.
Logistics supply chain
Through blockchain, logistics costs can be reduced, the production and delivery process of items can be traced, and the efficiency of supply chain management can be improved. This field is considered to be a promising application direction of blockchain.
For example, the carrier verifies that the goods have arrived at the designated area by scanning the QR code, and automatically charges the pre-agreed fee. You can refer to how blockchain transforms supply chain finance and blockchain brings transparency to the supply chain.
Skuchain creates a new blockchain-based supply chain solution to synchronize the flow of goods and capital, while mitigating the problem of counterfeit goods.
public network service
The normal operation of the existing Internet depends on many nearly free Internet services, such as Domain Name Service (DNS). Anyone can query the domain name for free. Without DNS, various websites today are basically inaccessible. Therefore, for network systems, similar basic services must be safe, reliable, and low-cost.
Blockchain technology has these characteristics. The DNS system based on blockchain will no longer have various wrong query results, and can provide services stably and reliably.
