Chain of Things is exploring security for the Internet of Things. Understanding and fully mastering IoT security is critical to the industry’s development. The aim of this conference is to examine Chain of Things (CoT)’s first full stack industrial blockchain+IoT case study, discuss findings, and focus on better ways of coordinating partners. The current problem is that IoT is outpacing security and hacks are very common and increasing. As the world becomes more connected this risk is compounded and can become systemic. The solution could be Bitcoin because it is money open on the internet and still hasn’t been hacked. This hackathon will learn from bitcoin and blockchain technology to make IoT bulletproof! Come to the inaugural Chain of Things event to learn about the fundamental role of blockchain in IoT and see a real-live practical Case Study in action.
