Exploring the Next Evolution: IOTA’s Rebased Protocol Governance Vote Begins
Today marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of IOTA’s technological framework with the initiation of the Voting Open phase for the Rebased governance proposal. This event, slated for Monday, December 2nd, 2024, presents a significant opportunity for IOTA token holders to shape the future trajectory of the network’s development.
Participate in Decision-Making
IOTA token owners are encouraged to use their voices in this critical decision-making process through their participation in this governance vote. Holders have two main voting tools at their disposal—the IOTA Firefly and Bloom wallets. By casting votes for this pivotal proposal, stakeholders consent to transition from an existing framework to a highly-anticipated new protocol currently operational on the IOTA Rebased Testnet.
Key Innovations with Rebased Protocol
The proposed protocol shift encompasses several transformative features intended to enhance functionality and expand capabilities:
- Integration of Move-Based Smart Contracts: Leveraging a parallel DAG-based L1 ledger system enhances interoperability and processing efficiency.
- Achieving Full Decentralization: The implementation relies on a delegated proof-of-stake system which includes 150 validator slots open without permission requirements.
- Adoption of Mysticeti Consensus Mechanism: This change targets optimal performance metrics such as exceeding 50k+ transactions per second (TPS) while keeping latencies below one second.
- Economic Adaptations: These include adjustable transaction costs via an adaptive fee burn mechanism contributing to either inflationary or deflationary supply dynamics.
- Enhanced User Experience Through Sponsored Transactions: Intended to abstract fees away from end-users, significantly smoothing out transaction processes.
- Staking Incentives: Token holders standaccess potential earnings through staking rewards aiming at yields between 10% and 15% APY based on an initial inflation target of 6%-7% annually.
Additional modifications tied closely with changes in tokenomics details are elaborated on within specific documentation sections linked directly fromthe governance proposal itself.
Should there be any declination towards accepting this upgrade by community consensus; continuity will prevail as standard operations remain under current specifications until further actions or strategies could be decidedby IOTAFoundation members.
Voting Process Schedule

- The first phase—Voting Open Phase—begins at precisely3 pm CET today (Monday, December2nd) and concludes same time next Monday (December9th).
