We propose a novel distributed integrity-preserving framework for storing trust information in crowdsourced IoT environments. The integrity and availability of the trust information is paramount to ensure accurate trust assessment. Our proposed framework leverages the blockchain to build a distributed storage medium for trust-related information that ensures its integrity. We propose a geo-scoping approach, which ensures that trust-related information is only available where needed, thus, enabling fast access and storage space preservation. We conduct several experiments using real datasets to highlight the effectiveness of our framework.
