Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for provisioning a home automation hub, or one or more of IoT devices, with blockchain nodes (or sub-nodes). The hub, an IoT device, and/or a group of IoT devices can perform operations similar to a node on a blockchain network. The operations can include blockchain transactions and other operations, such as transactions performed to verify or confirm an IoT device is authorized to be part of the shared network and thus is authorized to connect to the hub.
