摘要

The paradigm of Device as a Service (DaaS) is one where devices are used as part of a service, with the user having no ownership over them. A centralised, web-based approach can be envisioned to support such a business model, but such lacks transparency, availability, and global scalability. A blockchain-based solution is proposed to support such a business model. The concept of a blockchain-assisted DaaS is novel and, by using smart contracts to support key interactions between relevant entities, marks a shift in device ownership, management, and revenue generation.
