Abstract(s)
Sharding is an emerging blockchain technology that is used extensively in several
fields such as finance, reputation systems, the IoT, and others because of its ability to
secure and increase the number of transactions every second. In sharding-based technology,
the blockchain is divided into several sub-chains, also known as shards, that enhance
the network throughput. This paper aims to examine the impact of integrating shardingbased blockchain network technology in securing IoT sensors, which is further used for
environmental monitoring. In this paper, the idea of integrating sharding-based blockchain
technology is proposed, along with its advantages and disadvantages, by conducting a
systematic literature review of studies based on sharding-based blockchain technology in
recent years. Based on the research findings, sharding-based technology is beneficial in
securing IoT systems by improving security, access, and transaction rates. The findings also
suggest several issues, such as cross-shard transactions, synchronization issues, and the
concentration of stakes. With an increased focus on showcasing the important trade-offs,
this paper also offers several recommendations for further research on the implementation
of blockchain network technology for securing IoT sensors with applications in environment
monitoring. These valuable insights are further effective in facilitating informed decisions
while integrating sharding-based technology in developing more secure and efficient
decentralized networks for internet data centers (IDCs), and monitoring the environment
by picking out key points of the data.
