2. Despite recent growth of connected devices and
networked services, the lack of shared architecture
to interconnect––never mind authenticate or
monetize––distributed machines limits value and
business model success.
Distributed Ledger Technology’s (DLT) role as an
enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies in its
ability forge trust, not only at the product level, but
across an ecosystem of untrusting constituents.

6. CarPass is an effort to centralize automotive identity
across distributed parties
Shared visibility into a trusted ledger benefits all parties. Governments can
better audit car safety and enforce environmental laws; consumers gain
transparency into the integrity of parts, wear and tear, and avoid lemons;
technicians can assess maintenance history and user interactions;
manufacturers and service centers can offer value-added data services such
as replacing parts before they wear out.
• Car’s title
• Prior damage
• Service providers
• Maintenance history
• Inspection history
• Telematics data
• Other sensor data
• Mileage
• Environmental data
• Financial services data
• 3rd party data streams
7. Everledger uses blockchain register and trace digital
twins of 1.6 million diamonds “from mine to market”
• Digitized the Kimberly Process- UN mandated process to curb blood diamonds
• Single layer across mining companies, diamond cutters, distributors, retailers, insurers,
even consumers
• Now expanding to support fine arts, fine wines and other luxury items
8. Factom supports DHS’ IoT network of surveillance cameras,
creating an identity log of devices to prevent spoofing
The log captures:
• Device ID
• Video footage
• Manufacturer
• List of available updates
• Granted authorities
• Timestamp of data modifications
Given big data constraints, Factom uses hierarchical hashing to condense data
to a single hash, anchored on the Bitcoin blockchain. Factom serves as
middleware component for stream processing and hashing.
9. IBM and Walmart partner to track perishables like pork,
bananas, using sensors to monitor changes in temperature

12. Oaken Innovations demonstrates car as a mobility
wallet, seamlessly paying as it passes through toll
Beyond M2M communications, this presents significant cost savings compared
to current server and payment infrastructure. Transaction time reduced from
days to seconds, and fees from ~3% to .01%
13. Solarcoin all offer ways for individuals or commercial
solar farms to “tokenize” solar energy production
1 SolarCoin
= 1 MWh
IoT Datalogger method connects to the blockchain, then sends production data to the corresponding user
account, then the affiliate site logs this and uses an API to get claims from the SolarCoin Foundation.
14. UN ‘Building Blocks’ program uses blockchain + iris recognition
to authenticate food vouchers for 10,000 Syrian refugees
• The program eliminates intermediary costs by 98%
• One of the largest blockchain implementations in the world
• Building Blocks’ open source design applicable to other humanitarian
efforts e.g. health data with the WHO; education with UNICEF

17. HYPR enables secure biometric authentication across
devices, but eliminates need to centrally store credentials
A decentralized ledger to
secure sensor-based and
traditional credentials:
Fingerprint, hands, face, retina,
iris, voice, passwords, etc.
18. GM’s looking at DLT + IoT to improve customer experience
of Maven, its car-sharing program
GM is experimenting with DLT to deepen the value of the Maven program by
extending the authenticatable data associated with both user (e.g. personalized
vehicle settings) and vehicle (e.g. maintenance records, diagnostics).
19. Shping offers a platform for consumers to scan barcodes
and upload photos in exchange for reward tokens.
A universally recognized product ID number allows all parties to see provenance,
interactions, certifications, warranties, and quickly react in the event of a recall

21. IBM & Samsung’s ADEPT visualization of a universal digital
ledger
While an early prototype, the ADEPT (Autonomous Decentralized Peer-to-Peer
Telemetry) project remains a critical illustration of the IoT-DLT opportunity: using a
‘single ledger’ to track, reconcile, and securing interactions across diverse parties for
business model agility.
22. Note the rise of DLT as data exchange— a decentralized
medium for secure, compliant, scalable data marketplace
The Autonomous Vehicle Data Exchange (AVDEX) is a DLT-built data exchange
developed by Toyota Research Institute and BigChainDB in an effort to open up
data silos for autonomous car R&D. Data providers can upload data sets and data
consumers can search, buy, and rate data. Many non-industry-specific decentralized
data exchanges, like IOTA’s data marketplace, are also emerging.
