The Special Issue entitled "Blockchain in the Internet of Things: Opportunities, Challenges and Solutions" will be published in MDPI Sensors, and it is now open to submissions of full research papers and comprehensive review articles for peer review and possible publication.

The paper submission deadline is 20 September 2019. Authors may send manuscripts now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

This Special Issue calls for research articles related to novel secure and lightweight BC-based architectures for IoT, which eliminate the overhead of BC while maintaining most of its security benefits. Original contributions that report on real experiences in BC-based solutions and architectures for the IoT which highlight potentialities and limitations are also encouraged.
