Abstract: This paper aimsto secure and monitorthe IoT devicesthrough blockchain technology. The Internetof Things (IoT) is an essential technology in our daily lives. These devices and sensors are makingour human lives much easier and more comfortable. IoT is a multilayer technology that involves collecting and sharing data via a cloud-based platform. However, these IoT devices are lacking security measures, which makes them vulnerable. Blockchain technology is a decentralized process that is capable of data encryption, auditing, and immutability. It can also help us to solve security issues, especially in IoT devices. Blockchain records digital transactions and prevents them from being duplicated. Nonetheless, adopting blockchain technology for an enterprise network presents challenges. In this paper, we present a new blockchain-based framework for IoT devices in the tollgate plaza system. Our framework is oriented for IoT data and facilitates securedata sharing. Through blockchain, we can quickly improve security measures and networkefficiency, which we are affecting with IoT. Additionally, we showcase how to generate hash values to secure data in the network. This application framework developed by using smart contracts that consist of rules and conditions. This paper highlights some IoT issues where blockchain plays a vital role
