Blockchain highly empowers different kinds of IoT devices for enhancing security as well as bringing a significant level of transparency to several IoT ecosystems. Block chain extensively offers a decentralised and scalable environment for IoT devices and applications. Additionally, Green IoT highly represents impediments to diminishing energy consumption for IoT devices. It is also an energy-efficient process that can effectively minimise the emission of CO 2 and the effect of greenhouse gases. Due to this reason, it can create an eco-friendly environment that can be considered sustainable for various smart cities. It is highly capable of addressing techniques as well as strategies to reduce traffic waste, pollution hazards, and the usage of resources. For perspective, some examples of IoT devices include webcams, detectors, Scanners, controllers, drones, smartphones, etc. All of them have the capacity to cooperate and communicate in order to accomplish shared objectives. Smart devices are positioned to offer a wide range of real-time surveillance applications, such as pollution management, e-healthcare, mobility automation, industrial modernization and mechanisation, and building automation, with the help of such elements and modern communications.
