Since the inception and application of the blockchain technology, over 100 platforms have been developed on the technology and In this article, we will discuss the top 3 Internet of Things (IoT) related blockchain platforms :
1. Filament: this is one of the top Internet of Things blockchain projects developed. This blockchain based project offers users a hardware as well as a software solution that will enable users and their devices to be able to transact and interact against a blockchain. This platform seeks to offer solutions to the problem that is facing internet of things and enterprise. It does this by allowing companies to be able to link devices and machines securely and also help them to transact and interact value independent of a central authority structure. The "Blocket Chip" of the Filament platform was developed to ensure that the future of the Internet of Things becomes a reality. The advanced, enhanced and modern technology increases the economic capabilities of these machines to be able to transact securely and independently as well. The machines used by this platform is not just data-driven but also value driven. This platform works to ensure that its principles of security, anonymity, privacy, exchange and decentralization are strictly adhered to. These principles of theirs are applied to lower devices to ensure that their technology becomes the best solution to the problems of industrial internet of things enterprise and application.
2. IBM's Watson blockchain based platform: this is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform that seeks to provide various companies with the power they need to fully accelerate discovery and research predictions and also to enrich interactions as well. This platform seeks to provide enterprises with the control of what matters to their business and also allows them to maintain or get ownership of their data, intellectual property, insights and training. This IBM platform was developed to help organizations make careful and calculated decisions and was designed for enterprises in the various industries like healthcare, finance, Internet of Things (IoT), education, consumer engagement, transportation and work. One of the main benefits of this platform is that it helps in conducting faster and more rigorous researches. It also helps these enterprises to be able to discover new and better opportunities with the help of advanced Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. Also, it helps these enterprises to identify their customers and allow them to interact with them in a more improved and better way. Finally, this platform helps these enterprises to leverage on the expertise of their employees and allows them to build a pool of valuable know-how.

3. Xage: the developers of this platform saw that the blockchain technology could be used to support and provide additional security to the confidentiality of relevant data. This platform synthesis certain security technologies in what is called the security fabric. According to the developers, as the platform grows, more devices will be added to it and as they are added, the more interconnected they will become.
