Since the inception of the world’s first decentralized peer-to-
peer cryptocurrency i.e. Bitcoin, Block chain technology,
which serves as the backbone of this revolutionary idea, has
been scaled up to cater to various digital businesses
worldwide; especially businesses related to the Internet of
Things (IoT) Industry. With the recent boom in the value of
bitcoin, many software experts and businesses are beginning
to realize the potential of the technology behind it and how it
may be improved to survive the influx of quantum computing
in the future. One such company, which aims to evolve the
current dynamics of block chain to assimilate it in the IOT
industry, is Exxor. The philosophy behind Exxor and the
world’s first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, is relatively the same,
with the difference being that Exxor aims to make online
machine-to-machine (M2M) digital transactions more secure
in the long run, as compared to peer-to-peer interactions in the
latter. To achieve such, the company is making inroads into
disrupting the technology behind it (Block chains) in a good
way. This paper analyzes how such tweaks will affect the
future of cryptocurrency in the IoT industry followed by a
discussion of how it compares to other similar technologies
inspired by Block chains: IOTA and the IBM Watson Block
Chain system
