IOTA - A new dawn The launch of the first IOTA mainnet in June 2016 was the start of our journey to revolutionize Blockchain. Being a pioneer in a nascent, fast-paced industry means that you get some things right, while others have to be discarded. "Fail fast, fail early and fail often" they say. We did, and we have learned from our failures, and have become a stronger, more mature organization and ecosystem as a result. The "new dawn" of IOTA starts here.

This month, we've seen new releases of our Pollen Testnet, as well as continued progress on verification of our core protocol as we ramp up for the release of Nectar. With the “Nectar” stage of our Coordicide implementation ahead of us, our team is currently wrapping up the last few bits of research needed to achieve that milestone. At this point, the remaining work is primarily related to optimizations, and we will continue to use data gathered from Pollen to implement any required changes. Nectar will be our first fully…

The release of the IOTA Smart Contracts Protocol (ISCP) Alpha marks a significant milestone in the development of the ISCP. The scale and nature of improvements over the previous “pre-alpha” version are significant and we now feel confident with the current state to release the “Alpha version”. The fundamental and most notable change of the ISCP since its “Pre-Alpha” release is the integration of a multi-chain environment, secured by the Tangle, the “Layer 1”: Subnetworks, comprised of Wasp nodes we call “committees”, can…

The full article was originally published by Dan Simerman on Medium. Read the full article here. With the expanded narrative of Bitcoin as a ‘financial instrument’ gaining popularity in 2021, it makes sense to review how the IOTA Token’s utility is growing due to technical updates and macro economic forces. In this blog post, I apply PlanB’s idea of ‘Phase Transitions’ and lay out a potential evolution of the IOTA Token as a foundational resource for digital infrastructure in the global machine economy. Many people…

Creating opportunities for interoperability between distributed networks has always been a key goal for the IOTA Foundation. Up until now, we have focused much of our attention on building the protocol and defining the specifications for Chrysalis and Coordicide (IOTA 2.0). Due to our new architecture, we can now focus some energy on building cross chain bridges between complimentary distributed ledgers with unique value propositions and valuable use cases. So it is with this in mind that we are happy to announce our new…
