Impact of Blockchain and IoT Drone Technology Used in Mega Events
Abstract
Mega events like the Olympics, World Cups, and global expos bring together millions of people, vast infrastructures, and complex logistics. Managing such large-scale gatherings safely, efficiently, and transparently has always been a challenge. Today, technologies like Blockchain and IoT-powered drone systems are not just futuristic ideas they are actively reshaping how these massive events are planned, operated, and experienced. The study will explores the transformative impact of blockchain and drone-based Internet of Things (IoT) systems in the context of mega events, with a focus on security, crowd management, real-time monitoring, data integrity, and sustainability. Blockchain offers a decentralized and tamper-proof solution to ticketing, identity verification, and supply chain transparency helping organizers combat fraud and build trust. Meanwhile, smart drones equipped with sensors and AI are being used to monitor crowds, manage traffic, inspect venues, and respond swiftly to emergencies, all while transmitting real-time data.
