The exploration of Blockchain-related use case has been actively pursued by pretty much everyone in this space (corporates, startups, researchers, individuals) over the last 4 years. In the following sections, we will take a deep dive into some of the important features and principles behind IOTA. Quantum-immunity: IOTA utilized a newly designed trinary hash function called Curl, which is quantum immune (Winternitz signatures).As such, IOTA is more decentralized than any Blockchain. Every participant in the network that is making a transaction, actively participates in the consensus. No Transaction Fees: IOTA has no transaction fees.Scalability: IOTA can achieve high transaction throughput thanks to parallelized validation of transactions with no limit as to the number of transactions that can be confirmed in a certain interval.IOTA has a range of features that are uniquely enabled due to its architecture: We envision IOTA to be the public, permissionless backbone for the Internet of Things that enables true interoperability between all devices. IOTA is the missing puzzle piece for the Machine Economy to fully emerge and reach its desired potential. This attestation on the validity of two past transactions ensures that the whole network achieves consensus on the current state of approved transactions, and it enables a variety of unique features that are only seen in IOTA. What this means is that each participant in the network that wants to make a transaction has to actively participate in the consensus of the network by approving 2 past transactions. As mentioned previously, there are no miners. Blockchain) is how IOTA achieves consensus and how transactions are made. The major difference that is worth mentioning (apart from the DAG vs.
