Blockchains (BC) serve as a chain of transactions persisted as backward-linked lists, while being created and maintained within a network of distributed nodes. Potential advances with BCs have reached various application areas beyond FinTech-oriented use cases. Since Internet-of-Things (IoT) based use cases being an important part of them, this chapter focuses specifically on defining and determining measures and criteria to be met proactively for an efficient BC and IoT integration, termed BIoT. This survey resembles further potentials and incentives for such an integration, which leads via suitable use cases to respective challenges. Driven by state-of-the-art BIoT architectures, the new architecture BIIT 1.0 is proposed to pave the path toward practical and efficient BIoT architectures.
