Why Private Blockchain and How Substrate Framework Can Help
Private blockchain is a type of blockchain network that is only accessible by a selected group of participants, offering more scalability, efficiency, and security than public blockchain. However, interoperability and innovation are challenges for private blockchain networks. Substrate Framework is a modular platform that allows developers to build customized blockchains with ease and flexibility. Its…

IoT conference 2022 at Delft
We present in this work a Lightweight Transaction Protocol (LTP) for enabling constrained embedded devices’ interaction with multiple types of blockchains via the LoRaWAN communication protocol. The proposed protocol provides the benefit of interacting with multiple blockchains with only 13.5\% decrease in battery life. The protocol also includes a gateway module API that connects to…
