Blockchain Performance on IoT Networks

This thesis investigates the impact of blockchain technology on Internet of Things (IoT) networks, focusing on performance, scalability, and network security challenges. Through experimental analysis, it identifies limitations such as power consumption, overheating, network delays, and vulnerabilies to DDoS attacks. The findings highlight risks associated with integrating blockchain into resource-constrained IoT systems while offering insights into improving efficiency and security. By addressing these challenges, this research contributes to the development of more reliable and scalable blockchain-based IoT solutions, benefiting industries such as healthcare where secure and decentralised data management is crucial.
