Decentralization

As architecture of IoT and Blockchain is very similar, that is the reason that decentralisation concept of blockchain boosted the use of it in IoT. Blockchain provides the solution for IoT for managing the data and working of all connected devices without any third party. So failure of any device in a network of things never results in unavailability of data.

Privacy

Deployment of blockchain networks concepts in IoT, enhance the privacy of individual device data. As devices are connected in internet, any hacker can easily access the device and can manipulate the data, but due to using of Blockchain technology its consensus protocol prevent such alteration of data records.

Cost

Use of Blockchain Database is major reason for making IoT devices more affordable. Due to cost reduction IoT devices and technology has been implemented in many other domain easily. As no third party is required to maintain and verify the data cost is effectively diminishes. The connected nodes itself taking part in validating the data.

Trustless

Trustless concept of blockchain makes IoT more secure. Decentralised database allows verification through its connected smarted nodes which prevents devices and data to be hack by malicious elements.

Eccentricity

As conventionally devices or sensors connected in network are controlled by some central device. But block chain allows the eccentric behaviour of devices in network and devices can automatically responses and interact with other devices without third party interference.

Vulnerability

As data in blockchain is open for all. Vulnerability of data and devices helps to prevent the theft of devices from IoT. As IoT devices connected through Blockchain can be easily identified and tracked as as the location and management data about the device all the time can be kept and made reachable through a distributed database.
