Abstract The advent of cloud computing has ensured a fertile soil for effi-

ciently handling distributed computing. However, it calls for the provisioning of

high-configuration infrastructure, including advanced servers and high-bandwidth

networks for augmenting storage and computation-intensive services. To address this

problem, IoT services have envisaged a centralized cloud-enabled IoT framework

modeled as a black box facilitating resilience, adaptability, reliability, trust, confi-

dentiality, and integrity, reducing maintenance costs, and enabling time-efficient IoT

application support. Blockchain technology stands out to be one of the most suitable

candidates for enabling a secure and distributed IoT ecosystem, thereby adding a

helping hand in countering these inherent challenges and issues. Blockchain tech-

nology is a conglomerate of cryptography, public key infrastructure, and economic

modeling to induce distributed database synchronization in peer-to-peer networking

supported by a decentralized consensus. The underlying features of decentralized

architecture, immutability, verifiability, and fault-resistance make it suitable for

envisaging a properly coordinated and distributed IoT environment, giving rise to a

Blockchain for Internet of Things (BCoT).
