Authenticate IoT devices anonymously to prove they are not cloned, counterfeit, or stolen before they can transmit or receive information.
Verify the real-time health, integrity, and accessibility of IoT devices and things.
Enable IoT devices to securely interact with the full-state of any blockchain or smart contract.
Originating as an IoT electronics manufacturer since 2004, IoTBlock was founded with a vision to enable the open and secure exchange of IoT data without having to trust the devices and manufacturers themselves.
What we are building
Our platform works with any blockchain or IoT device and enables developers to build secure, privacy-centric IoT applications which can interact with any other blockchains without having to trust the manufacturers or the device itself. We empower business owners, especially those participating in the sharing economy, by enabling the development of affordable solutions to monitor and manage assets, audit the health and integrity of IoT devices and things, search and identify assets and their users, expedite insurance claims and dispute resolution, and much more.
Check the physical IoT device to make sure it is not counterfeit, cloned, or stolen.
We are uneasy about sharing or using things when we cannot verify their condition. Lack of verification also creates opportunity for insurance fraud and erroneous claims.
Access controls for verified users on disparate IoT devices and things.
IoT sensors record evidence about the integrity of an asset as it transacts between different buyers and sellers, which then can be used in claims or to resolve disputes.
Verify the real-time health, safety, integrity, and/or certification status of IoT devices catalogued on the blockchain.
Index, tag and search data. Businesses can index, tag and search for consumers based on their customers' IoT usage data.
A "Wikipedia/Equifax for IoT" to empower the public to audit and verify the health and safety of IoT devices around the world.
Issue security certificate services for verified devices and manufacturers. (e.g. "Verisign for IoT").
Verify the lifespan and integrity of second-hand electronic parts for buyers and resellers.
Custodians own the data from their IoT devices and get rewarded when value is generated by this data.
Verify version numbers and publish software updates as a URL on the blockchain along with a cryptographic hash which can be validated by IoT devices.
Securely process IoT data and generate derivative metadata to obtain valuable insights and enable smart ecosystems.
Ongoing Case Study
We are working with a group of tech-savvy, short-term rental experts to develop unique customer experiences via smart devices provisioned on the IoTBlock Network and applications developed on the IoTBlock Platform. Through this case study we hope to prove that IoTBlock can help short-term rental owners increase margins, save time and money by automating work flow, and most importantly, ensuring they have happy and returning customers.
Ongoing Case Study
We are working with a regional rental car fleet company that has transacted tens of thousands of car rentals across multiple sharing platforms to develop a cost-effective solution for remote car fleet management. Through this case study we hope to demonstrate that IoTBlock can help gig workers for ride sharing platforms and rental car fleet owners make their businesses more profitable and scalable.
Ongoing Case Study
We have been invited to partner with a global IoT solutions company to design use cases for a project involving hundreds of worker and cashier-less smart retail stores in Asia. We are looking into how a smart IoT device enabled store can improve customer experiences and increase business performance. In addition, we are looking for intersections between smart retail stores and the gig and sharing economy as many consumers are already accustomed to the customer experience of the latter through the on-demand ordering of meals and car rides.

Platform Features
We are building a next-generation IoT framework to enable secure, killer IoT apps. Here's a high-level snapshot of our software archtiecture. Read our docs to learn more technical details.
We started as a hardware device manufacturing company that designed and produced industrial access control system parts and RFID smart cards.
We expanded our product line to manufacture and provide Zigbee-certified devices and solutions for smart homes, the complete and interoperable IoT solution, from open mesh network to the universal language that allows many smart objects to work together.
We expanded our product line to manufacture RFID solutions including prelaminated smart chips and smart cards, Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and High Frequency (HF) RFID inlay products, and OEM RFID labels and smart cards production equipment.
Cold chain logistics is the management of the flow of products from origin to destination in a temperature-controlled supply chain involving an uninterrupted series of refrigerated production, distribution, and storage activities.
We expanded our product line to include NFC, QR code, and barcode solutions. Combining the use of RFID tags, consumers can enjoy a "smart" retail experience while business owners can automate inventory tracking or customer service.
We expanded our product line to include the manufacturing of smart medical devices that pass some of the most stringent global medical device and healthcare safety certification standards.
We began assembling a highly talented team of blockchain architects and engineers from around the world to develop solutions that enable blockchain-based digital economy and decentralized IoT governance.
Development of a globally accessible, public blockchain to catalogue the identity, health, accessibility metadata of IoT devices begins.
