Abstract

In this study, we conducted an investigation into the effectiveness of a private Microblockchain IoT (Internet of Things) when contrasted with a public blockchain in the context of decentralized data collection. The results revealed that the private Micro-blockchain exhibited a notable advantage in terms of data privacy and control, surpassing the alternative of the public blockchain. Additionally, the private Micro-blockchain solution demonstrated a reduced demand for hardware resources, enhancing its efficiency. These insightful findings provide valuable guidance for the practical implementation of data collection strategies within the realm of IoT, underscoring the potential for heightened security and improved operational efficiency.
