IOTA EVM Ecosystem

IOTA is an open-source distributed ledger and cryptocurrency specifically designed for the Internet of Things (IoT). Unlike traditional blockchains, IOTA utilizes a technology called the Tangle, which is based on a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). This innovative structure allows IOTA to offer feeless, fast, and highly scalable transactions, making it ideal for microtransactions and machine-to-machine (M2M) payments.

Key Features

• No Transaction Fees:
  In IOTA, users don’t pay transaction fees. Instead, to make a transaction, a user must validate two previous transactions, which eliminates the need for miners and makes microtransactions feasible.

• Scalability:
  Since each new transaction helps validate previous ones, the network becomes faster and more efficient as more people use it.

• Quantum Resistance:
  IOTA uses cryptographic algorithms (like WOTS+) that are resistant to quantum computing attacks, making it future-proof against certain types of cyber threats.

• Open Source & Nonprofit:
  The IOTA Foundation, a nonprofit organization, oversees the development and adoption of the network. The project is open source, encouraging transparency and community involvement.

• Real-World Partnerships:
  IOTA has partnered with major companies and institutions (such as Bosch, Volkswagen, and the city of Taipei) to explore use cases in supply chain, smart cities, automotive, and more.
