I don't know much about Blockchain but what is the benefit of using blockchain for Bluetooth LE network or IoT? If we care about security aren't higher level protocols doing that? AFAIK one of the biggest challenges in IoT field is to reduce network overhead and latency because constrained wireless networks like BLE are slow and not reliable. Doesn't blockchain significantly violate that?

I'm not sure how blockchain would fit into the picture? Maybe more of a buzzword soup than actual plans, or blockchain as in mesh network.

As I understand, the blockchain is used to track transactions between network providers and users (providers sell network access to users' devices).
