Flowchain: A Distributed Ledger Designed for Peer-to-Peer IoT Networks and Real-time Data Transactions
2nd International Workshop on Linked Data and Distributed Ledgers (LDDL2), Portorož, Slovenia
Flowchain Archive · 2016–2025
Research turned into working systems.
Flowchain explored distributed ledgers, peer-to-peer IoT, hybrid blockchain, Virtual Blocks, pseudonymous authentication, and tokenized hardware. This archive preserves the papers, engineering milestones, talks, and public record of that work.

Research
Academic work and original papers.
The strongest part of the Flowchain record is its connection between research and implementation. These publications document the technical ideas behind the project.

Milestones
From idea to evidence.
- 2016
Initial working implementation
The repository history records an early working prototype in December 2016.
- 2017–2018
Peer-reviewed research
Flowchain, Devify, and hybrid-blockchain work progressed through workshops and ACM SIGBED Review.
- 2018
Open-source testnet
The project moved from papers into a working testnet and public source code.
- 2018–2019
Public talks and ecosystem work
Flowchain presented its research and engineering at LinuxCon and FOSSASIA and published a series of technical and ecosystem updates.
- 2024
Two U.S. patents granted
The 2025 archive records two U.S. patents covering hybrid-blockchain and pseudonymous public-key infrastructure technology.
Archive note
Build what does not yet exist. Prove it in the real world.
Flowchain is preserved here as a record of research, engineering, open-source experimentation, and public technical work. The archive is historical and does not represent an active token sale, exchange promotion, or current commercial offering.
