The evolution of Internet 4.0 demands robust, secure, and scalable solutions to meet the growing needs of digital transactions and interconnectivity, and blockchain technology has emerged as a foundational enabler for these applications. However, blockchain's reliance on traditional cryptographic methods presents vulnerabilities that can be exploited in increasingly sophisticated cyber landscapes. This paper introduces the deployment of Hybrid Chaotic Hashes for enhanced security and efficiency in blockchain-driven Internet 4.0 applications. By integrating chaotic systems with hash functions, hybrid chaotic hashes provide a more unpredictable, complex cryptographic layer that enhances data integrity, confidentiality, and resistance to attacks. The unique properties of chaotic functions—nonlinearity, ergodicity, and sensitivity to initial conditions—make them advantageous for hashing in blockchain environments. This study highlights the practical applicability and resilience of hybrid chaotic hashes which is nonlinear technique in Internet 4.0.
