Low-Resource Devices

Definition ∞ Low-Resource Devices are electronic devices characterized by limited processing power, memory, storage capacity, and battery life. Examples include basic IoT sensors, microcontrollers, and older mobile phones. These devices operate with minimal computational overhead, making them suitable for specific, constrained applications.
Context ∞ Integrating low-resource devices into blockchain networks presents both challenges and opportunities, particularly for decentralized internet of things (IoT) applications. Solutions often involve lightweight cryptographic protocols and off-chain computation to reduce the burden on these devices. The development of efficient data transmission and secure authentication for such devices is a key area of progress.
