The INT project originated from a community practice of Apache Mynewt (Apache open source IoT operating system). The team initially tried to reduce the complexity of hardware development by defining hardware through software. However, even if the abstraction layer of the system is defined, how to form a unified ecology between hardware and hardware is still a challenging problem. Later, after thinking about it, the team considered driving the integration of different systems through economic means.

INT is an IoT-oriented, economically driven blockchain application platform and interaction standard. With the structure of parallel chain, the devices are connected to each other to form a distributed network, and the consensus algorithm is used to ensure the legality and trustworthiness of transactions between devices. At the same time, different types of devices can be connected to different parachains to avoid the explosive growth of the general ledger.

Project Highlights

The existence of INT can greatly reduce the development difficulty of IoT blockchain applications. It can relay different Internet of Things, form an edge computing network, effectively circulate resources, and accelerate the progress of Internet of Things popularization. INT is designed as a scalable heterogeneous multi-chain, providing a relay chain platform on which a large number of verifiable, globally consistent, and consensus data structures can be built. In other words, on the basis of ensuring overall security and inter-chain trust, INT is committed to internalizing the IoT blockchain into an IoT infrastructure like TCP/IP, which will unknowingly affect people's lives.

With the increase in the geometric progression of IoT devices and the improvement of machine intelligence, more and more IoT DAPPs that operate automatically will be installed on smart devices, and there will be a distributed The Internet of Things DAPP conducts real-time and credible automatic data exchange and automatic transactions.

INT will realize data transmission directly interconnected between IoT nodes. IoT solutions do not need to introduce large-scale data centers for data synchronization and management control. Operations including sending data collection instructions and software updates can all be performed through the blockchain network for transmission.

Application Scenario

(1) Intelligent manufacturing: For example, product transportation, even if the goods are transferred through multiple logistics, the products can be tracked to ensure safety and timely delivery; for example, production, inventory management, product sales and inventory data are all There are records to facilitate sharing between business and production departments, strengthen just-in-time production, and improve operational efficiency. Manufacturing equipment and systems are becoming more and more intelligent, thus gradually entering a completely virtualized world;

(2) Smart car: The DAPP that runs automatically in the Internet of Things turns the vehicle into a smart application terminal. Car owners can use the blockchain to track IoT devices, such as: annual vehicle inspection, auto insurance tracking, etc. Automatic driving data exchange between vehicles, such as: road congestion source map transmission data, so that car owners can understand real-time traffic conditions, and achieve safer automatic driving, automatic car navigation, road rescue, etc.;

(3) Intelligent Finance: Combining the non-tamperable and data confirmation realized by blockchain distributed data, it can ensure the authenticity of financial institution data, avoid letters of credit, corporate debts and bonds, trade platforms, payment exchange rates, Falsification of contract prices, orders, etc., to improve traceability in the financial security network;

(4) Smart devices: Use sensors to track the status of bridges, roads, power grids, etc., and even help remote areas monitor natural disasters, prevent large-scale wildfires, pests and other major disasters, realize smart city management, and predict urban greening and pollution conditions, and maintenance, sharing efficient urbanization management. Relay different Internet of Things, effectively circulate resources, and at the same time greatly lower the entry threshold of the Internet of Things, shorten the development cycle, and reduce the risk of application development. In the future, it will be widely used in smart grids, smart logistics, smart homes, smart billboards, smart cities, and military applications. Among them, intelligent medical care has reached a cooperation with Interpharmaceuticals, a well-known leading listed company in pharmaceutical distribution in China. The RSPS system equipped with INT technology has successfully solved the problems of waste of drug packaging resources, environmental pollution, and difficulty in ensuring drug safety during delivery. It can not only provide real-time location information, but also ensure the safety and protection of drug circulation. End-to-end business data improves the efficiency of drug circulation.
