Blockchain-Empowered Solutions for IoT-Based Digital Artwork Storage System

With the rapid development of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is gradually becoming a representative of the new generation of information technology. Currently, there are numerous new windfalls in AIoT-related fields, and meta-universe and digital twins are typical among them. The meta-universe is often mentioned together with art, however, the art market has long been suffering from low transparency of transactions, frequent infringement of digital artworks, high operating costs, and low security of traditional centralised storage, which also deeply affects the meta-universe art world. Blockchain technology, as a disruptive technology with the capacity to change the world, has unlimited potential in the field of digital art. Based on these, this paper proposes a decentralized solution of “blockchain + IPFS” after extensive research. The simulation results show that the system is robust, correct, and usable, which builds user trust to a certain extent and helps to improve copyright issues and enhance the transparency of the art market.
