Tangle Universe BETA 1.0 has been launched and 2.0 is in progress

Summary With this beta phase we have put our Tangle Universe project on a completely new basis. This was especially necessary because many of the planned new features that will come with the BETA 2.0 phase cannot be implemented with the old base. The features of the Alpha test phase that were tested positive were still retained and some new features were created with this BETA 1.0 version: • More user-friendly entry mask • Filterability of the category on the world map • Listing partners can generate news • Listing…

Decentralized File Storage with Kademlia and IOTA

It has been said that the most valuable resource in the 21st century is no longer oil but data. With most of the data being controlled by 6 or 7 tech companies many people have started developing peer to peer/ decentralized systems again to try and take back control of data and mitigate the risk of relying on cloud providers. In this article I’ll explore the use of the Kademlia DHT and the Iota tangle for storing data on a decentralized network of nodes. Software Libraries used Kadence library Iota javascript library…

ElaadNL Develops Autonomous Self-Balancing Power Grid Using IOTA

Grid Uses IOTA Tangle Technology For Machine to Machine (M2M) Communication; Machines Pay Each other in Tokens as Incentive to Comply (Arnhem, the Netherlands — February 15, 2019) — ElaadNL, the smart charging infrastructure lab founded by Dutch grid operators, has devised a Proof of Concept (PoC) that demonstrates how smart grids can autonomously balance energy consumption using IOTA technology. The PoC, created at the ElaadNL test lab, shares data securely via the IOTA Tangle and lets the charging devices themselves…

Proof of Concept of Autonomous Self-Balancing Power Grid using IOTA

ElaadNL, the smart charging infrastructure lab founded by Dutch grid operators, has devised a Proof of Concept (PoC) that demonstrates how smart grids can autonomously balance energy consumption using IOTA technology. The PoC created at the ElaadNL test lab in Arnhem together with grid operator Enexis, shares data securely via the IOTA Tangle and lets the charging devices themselves decide if they want to help balance grid load or not. By charging electric vehicles at a slower speed or at an off-peak time, the charging…

University of Bayreuth are developing an IOTA-based platooning prototype

Students of the University of Bayreuth are developing an IOTA-based platooning prototype at the Fraunhofer Blockchain laboratory. The team from the Fraunhofer Blockchain Laboratory of the project group Business Information Systems at Fraunhofer FIT has presented their latest development, a prototype for the transfer of data and financial transactions between cars. Platooning describes a process in which two or more vehicles drive at a very close distance behind each other. The basis of this process is the exchange of…

Blockchain scalability problem

Regarding the problem of scalability of Blockchain as a decentralized and cryptographically secure database is one of the new technologies; that will undoubtedly have a great impact on the future of the digital world. But with an increasing impact comes an increasing number of users; and there a great problem occurs. Most of the currently known blocking networks are not made for many users; and I mean many users. Let's take a look at the most famous Blockchain system, Bitcoin. The size of a block, which determines the…

Running on the Tangle: a marathon of random walkers

In today’s blog post, we’ll have a closer look at the journey of random walkers. Similar to one of our previous posts on mixing time in the Tangle, we are interested in understanding how long random walkers have to walk to select a tip and, more importantly, how long they take to reach their goal. For this analysis, we will simulate different Tangles and, for each one, we will release 100,000 random walkers starting from the Genesis and measure their velocity while performing a random walk on the Tangle. This article assumes…

Distributed Web with IOTA: a technical overview

IOTA is the distributed ledger for the Internet of Things. Here at Things Lab we try to find out solutions based on this technology in order to enable the rise of IoT devices with a secure infrastructure. In this post I am not going to talk about how we could use IOTA to build the internet of Things but whether we can use IOTA to build a distributed Internet. First we need to explain what we mean by distributed internet, then I am going to do a fast dive in IOTA transaction architecture and IRI node to show how we…

Brattørkaia in Trondheim will soon be Norway’s most high-tech urban area

In January, business experts, policymakers, and technologists from around Europe gathered in Trondheim for a workshop that was a big step towards making it the green technology testbed in Norway. Over two days, leaders from Engie Lab Crigen, Entra, IOTA Foundation, NTNU, POWEL, Trianel, Trondheim municipality, TrønderEnergi and others gathered in Trondheim to explore new energy solutions and business models around IOTA’s distributed ledger technology (DLT), The Tangle, and how it can make cities smarter, more…
