About IOTA

IOTA is significantly different from other cryptocurrencies as it uses the 'Tangle' rather than blockchain technology. The Tangle is a stream of interlinked individual transactions. These Transactions are distributed and stored across a decentralised network of participants. Rather than paying transaction fees or staking coins, the Tangle forces users to contribute to the security and agility of the network by verifying two previous transactions on the network, before processing your own. The structure of the Tangle allows IOTA to be scalable, flexible and transaction cost-free.

Important aspects

• The IOTA Tangle is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure and was introduced in the Tangle Whitepaper. Read about DAG here.
• In a blockchain, participants agree on which chain of transactions is correct by looking at the longest chain. Traditionally, forks and branches are discarded, the Tangle however, allows different branches to exist.
• The first transaction in the Tangle is referred to as the genesis and all IOTA tokens were generated in this genesis. About 2.77 billion IOTA tokens were released, no new tokens will ever be created.
• The Tangle does not have a built-in maximum throughput, meaning it is great at scaling and can handle a large influx of transactions at any time.
• Since there are no miners, there are no transaction fees. Each transaction sends the full input amount.
• For full details about IOTA, Tangle and other technologies related to the coin, you may read their Academic Papers.
