WHAT IS IOTA?

IOTA is a revolutionary new transactional settlement and data integrity layer for the Internet of Things. It’s based on a new distributed ledger architecture, the Tangle, which overcomes the inefficiencies of current Blockchain designs and introduces a new way of reaching consensus in a decentralized peer-to-peer system. For the first time ever, through IOTA people can transfer money without any fees. This means that even infinitesimally small nanopayments can be made through IOTA.

IOTA is the missing puzzle piece for the Machine Economy to fully emerge and reach its desired potential. We envision IOTA to be the public, permissionless backbone for the Internet of Things that enables true interoperability between all devices.


THE TANGLE


The main innovation behind IOTA is the Tangle, a revolutionary new blockless distributed ledger which is scalable, lightweight and for the first time ever makes it possible to transfer value without any fees. Contrary to today’s Blockchains, consensus is no-longer decoupled but instead an intrinsic part of the system, leading to decentralized and self-regulating peer-to-peer network. The Tangle also makes IOTA the first blockchainless Cryptocurrency.


WHAT ARE THE MAIN USE CASES OF IOTA?

IOTA's main features (in its current form) are feeless micropayments and secure data transfer and data anchoring. With these two features, combined with IOTA's scalability and partition tolerance we can derive a plethora of use cases which are mostly only possible with IOTA.

The primary focus area is obviously the Internet of Things, especially in areas such as Smart Cities, Infrastructure and Smart Grid, Supply Chain, Transportation and Mobility. Apart from that, IOTA can also function as the backbone for any peer to peer transactional settlement needs, such as web payments or even remittances.

HOW IS THE TANGLE DIFFERENT FROM BLOCKCHAIN?

1. Data Structure: which enables Iota to perform high transactions with zero transaction fees, fast transactions and confirmation.

2. Consensus: unlike blockchain In IOTA, every participant in the network making a transaction also actively participates in the consensus. More concretely, you are referencing two transactions directly (branch and trunk transactions) and other transactions in the sub-tangle indirectly. Through this, validation is parallelized and the network stay completely decentralized, with no miners to delegate trust to or having to pay a transaction fee.

3. Quantum-secure: Iota is quantum proof, meaning it cannot be hacked by a quantum computer; the next generation of computers that has been predicted to be able to Crack the blockchain when it's finally created. What actually makes IOTA quantum-secure is the fact that they use Winternitz signatures.

4. No mining and can process Nano-transactions: Iota is infinite scalable unlike blockchain, transactions can be made even in Nano units. All IOTA's which will ever exist were created with the genesis transaction. This means that the total supply of IOTA's will always stay the same and you cannot "mine" IOTA's.


WHAT CAN I DO WITH IOTA?

IOTA currently does two things really well: transactional settlement (especially micropayments) and data integrity. Through these two features you can derive most use cases that make sense and are most of the time, only possible with IOTA. More features (such as Oracles, Smart Contracts, etc.) are on their roadmap and will be added in the near future.

The main focus of IOTA is the Internet of Things, with machines paying each other for resources, services or access. This includes smart cities, smart grids, infrastructure, supply chain etc. where IOTA makes certain use cases possible. On this blog you will continue to find more concrete examples of what you can do with IOTA. Look out for a tutorial in your preferred programming language, or even write one yourself.

TOTAL TOKENS IN CIRCULATION AND UNITS


I have attached an image containing the total tokens in circulation and it's units to this post. You can also view it on https://coinmarketcap.com It's number 8 on the list, it just debut some few days ago and have been on the top 10 ever since.

CONCLUSION

This was how the blockchain Technology started with the Bitcoin as it main currency. Experts has agreed that the blockchain is a great technology but retained a believe that it's the foundation of a greater technology, The Tangle is revolutionary, it solves all the blockchain limitations and has been dubbed the Blockchain Successor.

Will the Tangle fulfill it's potential and become the undisputed technology of the Internet of things?
It's looking likely so far; although it's still many years away from full potential and currently behind the blockchain in the adoption market.

Luckily for us we found this early enough to get involved. You can invest in the token and hold for a long time who knows what your few hundreds or thousands of dollars investment will turn into in few years if the project succeeds

Miota is the trading unit of Iota in the exchange market currently trading at $0.389 or 15675 Satoshi per Miota.
