Significance of This Presentation (Relationship to the USAP Project)

Paycle/UPCX is collaborating with the Next Generation Sensor Consortium on the USAP project, which aims to advance the development of a blockchain-based Internet of Things (IoT) platform. Additionally, we are conducting joint research with Nagasaki University of Applied Sciences to substantiate the importance of blockchain-based IoT data management. The USAP project aims to establish an architecture that reliably collects, records, and monetizes the vast amounts of IoT data gathered from sensor networks. The project recently unveiled its prototype, the “Sensing Train”. at the Sensor Expo.

These two papers present:

  • Design guidelines to enhance the authenticity, traceability, and governance of sensing data
  • A concrete model for data management and value circulation through blockchain/cloud integration

They academically substantiate the USAP implementation roadmap.
