Abstract: Smart homes, being one of the commonly adopted technologies in today’s world, generate a large amount of sensitive data that requires proper data privacy, security and management. The traditional systems which are currently used for smart home data storage often suffer from various vulnerabilities such as unauthorised access and lack of transparency, which makes blockchain a good alternative for data privacy. This paper evaluates the ability of Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric for managing smart home data, focusing on privacy, performance and cost efficiency. Using a simulation environment for creating a smart home dataset, which is encrypted and uses IPFS on Ethereum Sepolia test network with Alchemy and Hyperledger Fabric in a two-organization setup within a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) environment. The findings provide critical insights into the trade-offs between performance, privacy, and cost in blockchain-based IoT systems, advancing the development of secure and scalable smart home solutions
