IOTA Foundation is excited to announce our partnership with Jaguar Land Rover and unveil the advanced connected vehicle and integrated ‘Smart Wallet’ project that has been developed by Jaguar Land Rover at the Shannon R&D facility, Ireland. Mobility and cities will change dramatically in the next ten years with the advent of connected vehicles. These vehicles with their integrated wallets will play a critical role in a data sharing economy which will enable the smart cities of the future. The new Jaguar Land Rover…

Wouldn’t it be great to get individually rewarded for providing companies with our data which they can use to enhance our lives? This is what the new partnership between IOTA and Jaguar Land Rover is all about. IOTA has taken the next step in partnering with big players in the automotive industry. On April 28, 2019, Britain’s largest auto manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover announced that the company is harnessing IOTA technology to make and receive payments for various purposes. The company states on its website: Unlike…

A couple of months ago an idea began to take form of an event that would bring together some crypt experts, in which the people of Bariloche and the region would have the opportunity to learn about different decentralized technologies, cryptocurrencies, the protocol for IoT: IOTA, Blockchain, Bitcoin, Smart Contracts, among other things. Finally, from this hole idea CRIPTO Patagonia was born. CRIPTO Patagonia, the first crypto event of the region, took place this past Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in San Carlos de…

Innovative ‘Smart Wallet’ technology will let drivers earn cryptocurrency on the go Credits can be earned for sharing information about traffic jams and potholes and used to automatically pay for tolls, parking and electric charging Connected services are part of Jaguar Land Rover’s Destination Zero vision — zero accidents, zero congestion and zero emissions Technology on test at new Jaguar Land Rover software engineering centre in Shannon, Republic of Ireland Monday, 29 April 2019, Whitley, UK: Drivers will be…

The technology behind IOTA can be intimidating to beginners but also experienced developers when trying to develop own applications based on IOTA Tangle. Its architecture requires a deep-dive into trits, trytes, proof-of-work, fullnodes etc. to participate in the distributed ledger called Tangle. However, its superior attributes over Blockchain like fee-less transactions and scalability are too good to stay away from launching own projects based on IOTA Tangle. The best way to get a project done faster is to start…

The IOTA Foundation (IF) has launched its first international IOTA academy program in close cooperation with the IOT1 Academy, a deep tech academy based in Berlin and Shanghai. Under https://training.iota.org, the IOTA Foundation offers a selection of online trainings as well as blended trainings for coders & developers. In the upcoming weeks, this first set will be complemented by trainings for non-coders, e.g. blockchain enthusiasts, futurists, and students, but also corporate project managers, concepters and c-level…

In the eleventh episode of Untangled we are visiting the world’s biggest blockchain and artificial intelligence hackathon Odyssey, which is the peak of the year for the organizers from Dutchchain, an open innovation program. To hear more about the event, we interviewed the founder himself, Rutger van Zuidam. And to hear more about why the Dutch government takes part in a hackathon and how the development of digital identities is moving ahead, we also interviewed Wouter Welling from the Dutch Interior Ministry. Out of the…

This is the first summary of the ongoing progress of running a IOTA Wallet on IoT devices. The general project description liked here: Embed<IOTA> First there was tinkering around with different MCU’s like STM32 Blue Pill, ESP8266 and at least ESP32. There are multiple ways to start with software, but at the time of writing 3 options are most promising to achieve the first essential step: Generating Addresses and Signing Transaction Bundles IOTA C-Library from the EmbIOTA project is a quite optimized C…

Up until recently devices connected to the Internet were relatively simple: gathering data, controlling lights, displaying information or some other mundane task. These devices were all controlled and managed from company servers or from a cloud platform. Not often were devices created, connected and left to manage themselves. This is changing. We are now seeing a shift to devices that are able to interact with the world around them. Not just as simple input/output devices but as economic agents that can advertise,…

You can already find Projects, Services & Friends of the Tangle in the Tangle Universe project. With Tangle Universe BETA 2.0 we will build the first virtual trade fair and a contact point for interested companies and people in the areas of DLT, IOTA and the Tangle, in the next months. It is intended to be a unique, powerful virtual trade show supporting this unique technology and developing new ideas for future applications. Furthermore, it is intended to support the financing of companies, projects and applications.…

This build includes a handful of minor fixes and changes. A more substantial build will be out soon for both Android and iOS. - Increase timeout for attachToTangle network requests (#989) - Fix iOS camera zoom calculation (#995) - Redirect to welcome screen only when wallet data is successfully deleted (#1021) - Remove hardcoded dead nodes from config (#1087) - Add more hardcoded nodes (#1106) - Add node request timeouts for getTransactionsToApprove endpoint (#1284) - Reduce quorum size (#1149) - New crowdin translations

There is now a growing interest from public and third sector organisations at local, national or supranational levels in reflecting about and experimenting with Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs), the most known being Blockchain, due to their potential for decentralising processes and data management. This Call for Proposals (CfP) aims at selecting a beneficiary/consortium to support the European Commission in the co-creation of a European ecosystem of developers working on DLTs for Social and Public Good. The…
