Abstract

This work introduces a pioneering approach that harnesses the advantages of blockchain technology in a tiny sensor network suit for Internet of Things (IoT), automation, and smart environments application. The proposed solution combines the basic capabilities of an Arduino Uno microcontroller with an Android smartphone equipped with an embedded customized Bitcoin wallet application. By integrating these components, the system capitalizes on the inherent benefits of blockchain, enabling secure and transparent data management within the sensor network. This innovative approach unlocks new possibilities for enhanced data integrity, decentralized control, and seamless integration of the sensor network with the blockchain ecosystem.
