Blockchain technology has emerged as a solution for providing transparency and trusted information in a decentralized and resilient manner. Particularly, there are significant potential benefits in integrating blockchain technology with the Internet of Things (IoT). However, adopting blockchain in hardware-constrained environments presents challenges. This integration introduces new issues, especially in scalability, performance, and security. Over the past decade, researchers have been developing algorithms and mechanisms to adapt various aspects of "traditional" blockchains for use in IoT environments. This talk will discuss key aspects of the journey towards the adoption of blockchain in IoT environments, as well as the challenges and opportunities in this research field.
