Join the IOTA & Shimmer community and build the web3 together!
IOTA is a distributed ledger technology, a DLT. With the right approach, DLTs let us control our own private data, run programs that nobody can meddle with, and trade and own assets without intermediaries.
IOTA runs on the Tangle, a structure where newer transactions verify the older ones, and pretty much any other DLT runs on a blockchain instead. To secure its state and history, a blockchain must collect transactions in blocks and chain the blocks one after another. That leads to a natural bottleneck: imagine loading the world’s cargo into a single train wagon by wagon. IOTA bypasses it altogether.
The IOTA protocol is still in research. It has two public networks: the IOTA mainnet is the stable network that manages your IOTA tokens, and Shimmer is the staging network for the latest and greatest protocol updates. When the changes are proven on Shimmer, they come to the mainnet. The next big update is Stardust. The future update that concludes the decentralization effort is called Coordicide.
