Blockchain @ Library & Information Science



Blockchain @ Library & Information Science

Internet of Things (IoT)

In 2015, IBM and Samsung showed off an application of the blockchain known as ADEPT (Autonomous Decentralised Peer-to-Peer Telemetry), which is designed to decentralise the IoT and allow devices to communicate directly, without a manufacturer’s hub getting in the way and trying to lock users into a particular ecosystem.

Cloud storage

Storj is a company that’s using the blockchain for open source cloud storage. Users are connected via blockchain and peer-to-peer technology, with a distributed network to store their data. Folks with spare storage can also rent it out for income via the Storj app, as the storage space is crowd-sourced.
