IOTA MIOTA/USD is a distributed ledger that is not a blockchain but uses a proprietary technology known as Tangle, which is a system of nodes that confirm transactions.
It uses a direct acyclic graph to store transactions on its ledger, which is motivated through potentially higher scalability over blockchain-based distributed ledgers.
The launch of the smart contract beta with zero fees as a catalyst for growthOn October 22, we covered IOTA’s announcement of the launch of the Smart Contracts Beta.
This marked the entrance of IOTA into Web3.
With this Beta Release of the IOTA Smart Contracts, IOTA now offers programmable smart contracts on the IOTA 2.0 DevNet, which includes early support for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and smart contracts that are written in Rust, Go (TinyGo), and Solidity.
The team is currently working on extended EVM support, further optimization, and porting smart contracts to the IOTA mainnet.
Through the integration of the Tokenization framework, all of this is intended to offer a powerful solution for seamless, trustless, and feeless interoperability as well as composability between smart contracts on IOTA.
This update also empowers developers to set their own IOTA smart contracts execution fees, which enables a dynamic pricing model that incentivizes driving fess down since different chains can compete for the execution of smart contracts.
Additionally, there are other features such as full network sharding, which can enable developers to wrap smart contracts onto the base layer of nativized tokens and enable high degrees of interoperability.
