This document discusses using blockchain technology and smart contracts to enable trusted data exchange in IoT supply chains. Specifically, it proposes a blockchain-based solution to address the lack of trust provided by centralized infrastructure for IoT data exchange. The system would use blockchain to verify transactions in a decentralized manner without an intermediary. Sensor devices using blockchain could publicly record temperature, location, and damage data during shipping to guarantee product quality. Smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain could then automatically assess the sensor data against product attributes.
