description The article introduces a proof-of-concept (PoC) that demonstrates the management of Internet of Things (IoT) devices' infrastructure via smart contracts, facilitating their interaction with the blockchain through gasless transactions. The focus is empowering IoT devices to autonomously sign transactions using their verified private keys, eliminating the necessity for external wallets and enabling blockchain interaction using Biconomy without incurring gas fees. In this PoC, managers can validate IoT devices, permitting them to transmit transactions securely without being able to manipulate measurements or risking losing crypto assets in case of hardware malfunctions. This innovative method ensures that devices with minimal funds can access sensor data and communicate with a smart contract on the blockchain to update information utilizing account abstraction. Detailed workflow and simulation results are provided to showcase the practicality and advantages of this approach in scenarios demanding seamless automated blockchain engagement through IoT devices. The PoC code is openly accessible on GitHub, enhancing the transparency and accessibility of our research outcomes.
