Abstract

While the literature on blockchain-assisted intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) for Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks is mature, existing systematic reviews suffer from two critical limitations: they overlook the structural shift toward modern Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) architectures, and they conflate blockchain's distinct functional roles into a single monolithic category. This Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) addresses these gaps by proposing a three-axis taxonomy that classifies proposals by detection-system class (NIDS, HIDS, EDR/XDR), blockchain functional role, and response-automation maturity. Synthesizing research published in high-impact venues between 2019 and 2026, we provide a rigorous gap analysis exposing why a genuine per-endpoint blockchain-anchored response loop remains nearly nonexistent due to latency, deployment, and community mismatches. Furthermore, we evaluate structural, cross-cutting challenges persisting across the literature, including consensus latency on constrained devices, post-quantum cryptographic vulnerability, smart-contract attack surfaces, and the adversarial vulnerability of evolving LLM-based detection engines. Finally, we outline a comprehensive research agenda centered on hybrid on-chain/off-chain orchestration to bridge the gap between decentralized trust and rapid response automation.
