Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for determining a current condition of an electronic device configured to communicate over a wireless network. For example, the method can include collecting units of condition data of the electronic device. In some instances, each unit of condition data is generated by a sensor of the electronic device that performs an ongoing measurement of a parameter of the electronic device or detects an occurrence of an event that affects the condition of the electronic device. The electronic device provides the units of condition data over a network to a manager node. The units of condition data are then stored in a distributed ledger. The network node can determine a current condition of the electronic device based on the units of condition data stored in the distributed ledger.
