        abstract = {The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to the widespread adoption of connected devices across various sectors, but controlling and managing these devices at scale remains a significant challenge, especially in terms of transaction costs and system complexity. This paper introduces an innovative approach to IoT device control using Nano (XNO) cryptocurrency microtransactions, which offer a fee-less and instantaneous method for device management. By utilizing Nano’s smallest unit, the drop (0.000001 XNO), we propose a system where users can control the state of General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins on IoT devices, encoding device commands within the transaction values. The system leverages a web-based interface built on Glitch Cloud, where users can interact with IoT devices through Nano-powered microtransactions. Through QR codes or payment links generated on the platform, users initiate control actions on their devices. These transactions are validated in real-time by Nano blockchain public nodes, allowing the IoT devices to update their states based on the encoded commands without any associated fees. This research demonstrates the practical application of Nano cryptocurrency for decentralized and low-cost IoT management. We explore the architecture of the system, how control commands are encoded into Nano transactions, and the security considerations of using blockchain for device control. Our approach provides a scalable and efficient solution for smart homes, industrial IoT, and other automated systems, where frequent, low-value transactions are required for device interaction.},
