The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly transforming industries, connecting billions of devices and generating unprecedented amounts of data. However, this interconnectedness comes with significant security risks. Traditional centralized IoT architectures are vulnerable to attacks, making data breaches and unauthorized access a major concern.

Blockchain technology, combined with well-designed APIs, offers a robust solution for building secure and resilient IoT systems. This guide provides a practical approach to integrating blockchain with your IoT solutions.
Before diving into integration, let’s briefly recap the core components:
- IoT Devices: These are the physical devices that collect and transmit data (e.g., sensors, actuators, wearables).
- Blockchain: A decentralized, immutable ledger that stores data in a secure and transparent manner.
- APIs (Application Programming Interfaces): These define how software components interact. In our context, they enable communication between IoT devices and the blockchain.
