TOKEN2049 - Decentralising the IOT for Smarter Cities and Businesses - Vlad Trifa (Ambrosus)
Explore the transformative potential of blockchain and IoT in shaping smarter cities and businesses in Vlad Trifa's insightful talk at TOKEN2049. Trifa, representing Ambrosus, delves into the challenges and opportunities arising from integrating blockchain with the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance data accuracy, security, and traceability in supply chains.
The discussion begins by highlighting the prevalent issues in today's supply chains, such as counterfeit products affecting industries like pharmaceuticals. Trifa suggests combining IoT technologies, such as sensors and RFID tags, with blockchain to overcome these challenges by improving product traceability and data integrity.
Key challenges addressed include the volatility of cryptocurrency fees, the lack of a universal IoT protocol, and the scalability limitations of current blockchain technology. Trifa introduces Ambrosus' innovative m-net project, designed to address these issues by providing a decentralized backbone that seamlessly integrates IoT devices with blockchain to facilitate secure data exchange and storage.
The talk emphasizes the need for a universal data model, robust security practices, and comprehensive developer tooling to support both public and private data handling effectively. By showcasing a practical use case within the pharmaceutical industry, Trifa illustrates how blockchain-based solutions ensure product authenticity and monitor transportation conditions.
