| description | The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has driven significant advancements across sectors such as urbanization, manufacturing, and healthcare, all of which are focused on enhancing quality of life and stimulating the global economy. This survey offers an in-depth analysis of the integration of blockchain technology with IoT, addressing aspects such as architectural alignment, applications, security, limitations, scalability, and latency. Moreover, this survey focuses on security, integration techniques, and future research directions. The primary contributions of this review include a taxonomy of security concerns specific to IoT, an analysis of integration methods, and insights into consensus mechanisms suitable for resource-constrained environments. These findings highlight the unique challenges and opportunities in IoT–blockchain integration, providing a foundation for advancing secure and scalable IoT applications. By exploring consensus mechanisms and resource-constrained deployments, this paper provides a framework for developing secure and efficient IoT applications utilizing blockchain technology and providing a basis for future research and practical applications. In addition, this survey investigates innovative trends, including AI-driven blockchain for IoT. |
