Blockchain is emerging as a promising technology that able to support transparent, secure, and immutable transactions traceability in decentralized networks. Its usage many application domains, including the Internet of Things, gaining attention even more researchers industries worldwide. In line with current research interests, work presented this letter has been carried out context European H2020 symbIoTe project. Among its main features, framework offers bartering functionalities across federation Things platforms. This extends baseline implementation formulates novel methodology properly integrates takes advantages from technology. Even if proposed approach general, facets characterizing conceived are illustrated through fictional use case envisaging provisioning Intelligent Transportation System air pollution services Smart City.
