Performance Evaluation of Block Size Influence on Blockchain-Enabled IoT Data Storage

Abstract

The increasing number of IoT devices has led to a significant growth in the number of generated data packets that require secure storage and processing solutions. Blockchain technology offers potential benefits for storing IoT data, leveraging its decentralized, distributed, and immutable nature. In a blockchain, the data provided by IoT sensors is stored as transactions within data blocks that form the blockchain network. However, the block size plays a crucial role in ensuring the security and scalability of IoT applications. To address this, our research paper focuses on determining the optimal block size for storing information from IoT sensors. By carefully selecting the optimal block size, we aim to address the unique requirements of IoT applications, ensuring their security and scalability while leveraging the potential of blockchain technology for securely storing and processing IoT data packets.
