IoT and Blockchain

Study Notes

A smart contract is a self-executing contract based on agreed terms.
They are written in programming languages, such as Solidity, and do not require a trusted intermediary.
Smart contracts have three key elements: consent, object, and fulfillment condition.
They are more secure, autonomous, and generate trust compared to traditional contracts.
Oracles are used to update the smart contract based on external information.
Smart contracts can be used in IoT to reduce the need for third-party monitoring and increase trust in device-generated data.
IOTA is a distributed ledger technology that uses DAG and has its own cryptocurrency, iota.
Its main goal is to enable information exchange between IoT devices and create a decentralized data marketplace.
The IOTA Foundation is working on adoption in various industries, including electric cars, healthcare, and fintech.
The total amount of iotas is fixed and will not be increased.
IOTA is a decentralized network for exchanging currency and data without fees or intermediaries.
Its architecture allows for unlimited scalability and immutability of data.
IOTA can operate without internet access through sub-tangles.
The network is currently administered by a coordinator, but simulations are underway to eventually remove it.
Riddle & Code develops hardware and software solutions for secure IoT integration with blockchain.
